For the feeling of powdery white sand between your toes, one of the most reliable destinations in Croatia is the island of Susak. Susak, a charming and peaceful island where traditions live on and a popular day-trip destination by boat for those who have found villas in Primorje-gorski Kotar, boasts several different sandy beaches to choose from. So, if you are planning a vacation in Croatia and you're looking for the perfect sandy beach of your dreams, plan an excursion to Susak.
