Koromačna bay
Sheltered bay with marina and historic harbor
Koromačna Bay on Cres Island is a tranquil destination known for its natural beauty and inviting waters, making it a favorite spot for beachgoers and nature lovers alike. Situated a short distance from the historic Town of Cres, the bay offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of the island’s main settlements. The clear, calm sea and rocky shoreline provide ideal conditions for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling, while the surrounding landscape is characterized by rugged cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation.
Cres Island itself has a long history of seafaring, fishing, and olive oil production, and visitors to Koromačna Bay can sense this heritage in the relaxed pace of life and the local products available in nearby markets. The Town of Cres, with its narrow medieval streets and central square, is within easy reach, offering opportunities to explore the island’s architectural and cultural history. The municipal loggia in the town square is a hub for local produce, including olive oil and honey, reflecting the island’s agricultural traditions.
While Koromačna Bay does not feature extensive built amenities, its unspoiled setting is part of its charm. The bay is accessible by car or boat, and its relative seclusion means it rarely feels crowded, even in peak season. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own supplies and enjoy a day immersed in the serene coastal environment that defines this part of Cres Island.
