What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Kostanj Beach is highly praised for its exceptional accessibility, making it a standout destination for visitors with disabilities. Reviewers appreciate the clear, shallow waters and the convenience of free showers. However, the significant lack of natural shade and challenging parking for non-disabled visitors are common drawbacks.
"Beach for people with disabilities. Located between Hilton hotel and Preluka beach.
Narrow access to the parking means you need to be patient and slowly approach the area with pedestrians walking on the same road. If you do not have the "disabled person" parking sticker / approval, it is better to park on the macadam extension located aprox. 50 meters b4 the beach itself. Parking control will swiftly fine you if you park just above the beach with no sticker/approval. Keep an eye on the signs. Once on the beach people are friendly with one assigned lifeguard/person ready to help you at any time. Avoid weekend afternoons as the beach tends to fill up with "common folks" looking for their place under the sun. The beach has proper access and devices made for person with disabilities, making it easy to access the sea and enjoy a swim. Take care and enjoy. All in all from my side good place to go."
