FKK Kandarola Beach

FKK Kandarola Beach on Rab Island is a legendary destination for naturists and anyone seeking a peaceful, nature-immersed escape on the Adriatic. Located on the pine-shaded Frkanj peninsula, Kandarola is celebrated as the oldest nudist beach in Croatia—and one of the oldest in the world—dating back to 1936 when King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson famously visited and helped establish the site’s naturist tradition.

The beach is set in a beautiful, wooded area beneath the Velebit mountain, where crystal-clear waters meet soft, rocky shores and the scent of pine fills the air. Kandarola offers a welcoming, judgment-free environment where visitors can relax in harmony with nature, whether they are experienced naturists or newcomers to the lifestyle. The beach is managed by the Jurešić family, who have maintained its clean, safe, and friendly atmosphere since 1996.

Kandarola features amenities such as sunbeds, umbrellas, and a beach bar serving quality food and drinks, all designed to enhance the guest experience while preserving the natural beauty of the area. The beach is rarely overcrowded, allowing for privacy and a sense of community among visitors.

While specific opening hours and admission fees are not widely advertised, Kandarola Beach is open throughout the main summer season. For those looking to experience a piece of naturist history and the freedom of the Adriatic coast, FKK Kandarola Beach is a must-visit on Rab Island.
