Baska is situated on the south-west of the island Krk. Here is the biggest and most beautiful beach on this part of Adriatic called Vela Plaza, the Big Beach, right in the centre of town, backed by bars, restaurants, pizzerias, cafés, hotels, private apartments and other tourist faculties. Since 1999, the European Blue Flag has flown on Baska's Big Beach and has become a trademark of Baska, as proof of the high quality of beach standards. It is a natural pebbly beach, 1800 m long, which can take several thousand swimmers. It’s particularly suitable for children and non-swimmers
