Kolovare

Kolovare is the best-known bathing area immediately beside Zadar’s peninsula and can be reached from the old town by an easy walk south. The shoreline combines pebbles, paved sections and pine shade, while its urban setting brings showers, food and drink options and recreational facilities. Its proximity to the centre makes it particularly practical for travellers without a car and for a swim between sightseeing sessions. Kolovare has a long local bathing tradition and is not intended as a secluded natural beach; in summer it can be lively. It suits visitors who want straightforward access to the sea without leaving the city, especially families and guests staying centrally.
