It was the last day of May when we headed to the famous Rab beach Sahara. I had never been here before, so I didn’t know what to expect. It is the most famous nudist beach in Lopar, but you can swim and sunbathe even with clothes on.
It is close enough, yet far enough away if you want to enjoy peace and quiet during your vacation on the island of Rab. Keep in mind that there are no additional facilities here, so be sure to bring at least some drinking water with you.
From the parking lot to the bay, you need to walk for about 20 minutes, and longer if you are not in a hurry to jump into the sea – if you decide to enjoy the walk through this special landscape as much as possible. At the end of the approximately 1.5 kilometer long path, we were greeted by a beautiful bay of crystal clear sea. Apart from us, there were no passersby or swimmers here that day, which gave us the feeling of a wild beach ‘in the middle of nowhere’.
Sahara is the most famous nudist beach in Lopar, and also one of the most beautiful in the area. However, as I mentioned before, although nudism is allowed, it is not exclusive, so everyone is welcome to enjoy this secluded sandy cove in their own way. It can also be reached by sea, of course. Numerous taxi boats from the San Marino Harbor run daily to the beach and back.
It is sandy and covered with small vegetation, and if you need shade (as I do), it is definitely better to bring your own umbrella because natural shade is difficult to find. Since there are no facilities on the beach, bring everything you need for a full-day relaxation, including, above all, refreshments.
Since there are not many people here, the area around is exceptionally well-preserved – it is not degraded and there is no garbage. All we found was one small buoy that was probably brought by the sea.
Sahara is an extraordinary natural secluded beach with fine and soft sand and definitely one of those that is worth visiting at least once in your life. Due to the shallow sea that warms up quickly, the swimming season here starts early.
