Baška is the most popular town of the island of Krk, the maybe you will understand why once you visited it, I see it almost every week.
Baška is located at the southeast of the island of Krk and faced to the open sea. The water temperature is lower than of the rest of the beaches on the island. Clear and clean water will not be easy to forget. Of course also depends on the wind currents of the weather conditions of the sea but you can only feel satisfied. The rest of the island's beaches are equally beautiful but it seems that Baška has something special for all of them who has visited it.
It's main beach, Vela Plaža is gravel and it's about 2 km long. On the one side we have a small port while to the other we have a nature. From the portyou can see the old part of Baška you should not to confused it with Stara Baska, small houses attached one to one, a real small village with lots of colorful shops.
To achieve Baška you have to cross the whole island, pass Krk, Kornić, Punat, also pass through Jurandvor ( where the Baščanska ploča or Baška's table is ). Some curve and you'll arrive at Baška. You can decide whether to keep right and immediately get into the center or continue on the left. Both roads lead to Baška, to the port and to the famous beach. After a few minutes you will be forced to park and continue by walk.
Tourism in recent years have arisen many new buildings, hotels, spas, restaurants and pizzerias, many of them invested in a short time and bet on the future of this resort as they did for all the island of Krk. Until now they have achieved a great success and congratulations from both the tourist operators and tourists.
