Cigrada Beach

Cigrada Beach, located about 2 kilometers from the center of Murter on Murter Island, is a favorite spot for those seeking a relaxed seaside experience away from the busier city beaches. This pebble and rocky beach stretches for approximately 110 meters and is known for its clear, turquoise waters and sheltered bay, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports like kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

The beach features a sandy entrance, perfect for families with children and for playing the traditional Dalmatian game of picigin. Diving enthusiasts are drawn to Cigrada for its rich underwater life, while active visitors can rent a SUP to explore the coastline. Despite its natural appeal, Cigrada Beach is well-equipped with amenities, including restrooms, showers, changing cabins, and a nearby parking area. There’s a beach bar and café serving cold drinks and traditional Croatian dishes, and a restaurant close by, with many more dining options within a short drive.

Cigrada Beach is surrounded by a picturesque landscape of rocky outcrops and lush Mediterranean vegetation, offering a tranquil backdrop for sunbathing or a leisurely swim. However, there is little natural shade, so visitors are advised to bring sun protection. Accommodation is plentiful in the area, with options ranging from cozy apartments to hotels within walking distance. Cigrada Beach is an inviting destination for families, couples, and anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Murter Island.
