Osejava Beach: A Complete Guide
Just east of Makarska's harbour, the Osejava peninsula gives you a calmer swim without leaving town. Its small beach is a favourite for a quiet morning dip, with the cafés of the Riva only a short stroll away.
The Beach at a Glance
Osejava beach is a 100-metre stretch of pebbles, protected by a natural breakwater. Towards the east it turns into rocks and becomes the gateway to Nugal, Makarska's famous wild beach. Behind it rises the pine-covered Osejava forest park.
Facilities & Amenities
There is a shower and there are changing cabins. Loungers and parasols are available, and there is a beach bar next to the beach. Cafés and restaurants are close by in town.

Exploring the Surroundings
The forest path through Osejava continues to Nugal and, beyond it, to Tučepi. In the other direction, the harbour, the Riva and Kačić Square in the old town are a short walk away.
Practical Tips for Your Visit
Walk from the harbour rather than drive. Car parks are listed in the quick facts. Water shoes help on the rocky eastern part.

Why Osejava Beach Stands Out
