We recently took a quick day trip to FKK Kandarola Beach on Rab Island, and it was an amazing experience! I went with my boyfriend, and we were initially thrown off by the 30 kuna entry fee, but we were told it’s common for private beaches. Once we got in, we quickly realized it was worth every cent!
The drive from the ferry port was scenic and only took about 20 minutes. We were lucky to find a spot on the side of the road, so we didn’t have to pay for parking. From there, it was just a short walk through the beautiful wooded area to the beach.

Almost everyone at FKK Kandarola Beach was naked, which made the atmosphere feel very relaxed and natural. Enjoying a cold beer in the buff at the beach bar was definitely a highlight! The bar and restaurant are run by the Jurešić family, who were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food at the restaurant, “Biser Kandarola,” was fantastic, and knowing that they use organically grown vegetables from their own farm made it taste even better. You can read more about the history of the island and check out the restaurant HERE.
There were plenty of families at the beach, but it still had a very chill vibe. Most of the kids were hanging out near the slide and swimming pool at the far end of the beach, which kept the main area peaceful for those of us just looking to relax.
The water at Kandarola Beach is like glass – so clear and inviting. The beach is well-equipped with sun loungers, parasols, toilets, and showers, making it easy to spend the whole day there comfortably.
Whether you’re a seasoned naturist or a first-time nudist, Kandarola Beach is a great place to visit. The friendly atmosphere, stunning views, and excellent facilities make it one of the best nude beaches in Croatia. I highly recommend a visit if you’re on Rab Island!
