Klimno: Beaches, MTB Tour and Cultural Heritage

Klimno combines different types of beaches with an MTB route, a maritime side and sacred heritage. Specifically, you can compare the coastal surfaces, the start and return point of a cycling tour, and St. Clement’s Church and a small chapel.

Beaches: sand, pebbles and concrete

Komoriška is at the entrance to Klimno and is a sandy beach shaded by a pine forest. Slamni is a pebble beach, while Riva is a concrete beach. Meline adds another option: a sandy beach with healing mud. The beaches therefore differ mainly in their surface; at Komoriška, the forest shade is another distinguishing feature. If you are weighing up the ground surface when choosing, sand, pebbles and concrete offer clear points of comparison. Beach conditions may change seasonally; check them before your visit.

Meline can be reached by road, by sea and on foot; its access conditions may change seasonally. Meline and Slamni each have a playground. As facilities may change seasonally, check the latest information before your visit.
