## Practical tips

Arrive before 9 or after 5 to dodge crowds and catch the light. Bring reef shoes, most Croatian beaches are smooth pebble rather than sand.

## When to go

For popular beaches in Lika, aim for May to October, with June and September the quietest warm months. Bring water and shade, facilities are thin at the more remote spots.
