We already wrote about the sea water quality on Croatian beaches being confirmed as excellent at all 116 inspection points. How to choose, though? 24sata brings an exhaustive list of 65 most beautiful beaches on our coast, divided in three geographic categories: Istria and Kvarner, Northern and Central Dalmatia, and Southern Dalmatia.
Sixty five! Even though we completely agree with their selection, they didn't exactly make it easier for anyone to decide where to lay their towel for a day. There's no other thing to do but to bookmark the list, start from Istria, and travel your way down south until you try out all of the spectacular beaches and bays on Croatian shores. Such a burdening task, isn't it? Look at that water, how does it have the nerve to be so impossibly turquoise? Terrible.
If it's any consolation, whatever you choose, you can't go wrong.
