This is where locals go for jogging, walking, bicycling and swimming. Beaches have shade, but they're mostly rocky. Prve vode beach is the closest and it's a pebble beach, while Bene is 1.5 km from the Marjan gates with sand in the sea and a restaurant. Other than that it's mostly rocks, but (we) the locals love them. ☺️
