Vodice

Vodice Nestled in an inlet of the river Krka, Šibenik is a lovely old Croatian town, with a sheltered marina and a laid-back feel. Go 13km west to find Vodice, a former fishing village now transformed into a bustling tourist town with long sandy and pebbly beaches. With ferry terminals and boat moorings in both towns, you can easily access the nearby beautiful islands and national parks. Once a humble fishing village, in recent decades Vodice has transformed into a popular tourist town. It is picturesque with its ruined 16th century city walls, and 18th century church, but also humming, packed with busy restaurants, bars and cafes. Stroll along its waterfront promenade to find a good selection of bars and restaurants, overlooking the pebbly beach. It’s a great beach sheltered by pine trees with facilities for diving, windsurfing and water sports. There are also some beach nightclubs, which are very popular in summer. Visit in August to experience the Vodicka Fešta (translates to Vodice Feast) where the whole town is full of music, with fireworks and celebrations on the waterfront.
