Counting the waves…
Counting the waves…
The pebbles at Dražica click and shift under your bare feet, each stone worn smooth by decades of Adriatic tides and thousands of summer visitors. Pine trees frame the eastern edge, their resinous scent mixing with sunscreen and grilled squid from the nearby snack bar. Cabanas line the shore in tidy rows, their canvas awnings snapping in the afternoon maestral wind that sweeps down from Velebit. You'll notice the infrastructure immediately—this isn't a beach you stumble upon. Showers, changing rooms, rental stations for loungers and paddleboards create a rhythm of commerce and convenience. Families stake their territory early, spreading towels in the dappled shade while children test the water temperature with cautious toes. The seafloor slopes gently, pebbles giving way to coarser sand about twenty meters out. By late afternoon the crowd thins. Locals arrive after work, claiming the quieter western stretch where the beach curves toward the harbor. You can hear the slap of dominoes from the café terrace, the distant chug of ferries departing for Baška. The water takes on amber tones as sunlight filters through the pines, and the stones, baked warm all day, release their heat slowly into the evening air.
