We had great weather throughout our stay in Sibenik, but on one day the clouds started to roll in and gave a dramatic backdrop on the, otherwise, sunny beach. It wasn't until much later that we found out that big storms hit the northern part of Croatia's coastline, and that those storms, even though hundreds of miles away, had an influence on our weather.
Our main beach is very secluded and not too crowded. That's why we like this place so much. I hate beaches with lots of people, crammed one to another. Here you can really enjoy the sea, nature and sights.
This is a multi-part series. Other parts include:
Part One: Morning in a Seaside Town
Part Two: A night in the old town of Sibenik
Part Three: Stormy day on the Beach
Part Four: Dusk in the Solaris Beach Resort
Part Five: Night in the Solaris Beach Resort
Part Six: Stroll through the Sunset Forest
Part Seven: Inside the Fortress of St. Nicholas
Part Eight: Remnants of the Past
Part Nine: Golden Hour in the Bay

As the day started taking it's turn for the worse, we decided to go on a field trip. The city of Zadar is a one hour drive away from Sibenik. We went to the Supernova Shopping Mall. Here are a couple of shots form our time there.
The sky turned clear for one moment, but on the night that was to follow, a rain and thunderstorm hit our little coast as well. Luckily for us, the next day was bright and filled with sunshine.
End of Part Three
To be continued...
Next up is our visit to the Solaris Beach and Spa Resort, located a couple of miles south from Sibenik. It's a hotel complex with many fun attractions.

1, 11 and 24 are my favorites today... was the water cold? looks like you all had a perfect vacation...
ReplyDeleteThe water was very nice, and didn't change temperature.
DeleteMersad, I think you could fall out with me. I hope not.
ReplyDeleteI am just trying to eat a prawn salad for lunch. No way am a going to click to enlarge. This is a wonderful holiday. The ladies are drop dead gorgeous. Disturbing enough at normal size. Your best set yet. I did like the laughing one from a few weeks ago. Excelled you have.
I have had to pop back to look at the font size. I use 14pt. I did try dropping to twelve but folk moaned.
Maybe I'll go back to 14 at one point, but i think 16 is nice for now. Thanks for the compliment. I hope you enjoyed your prawn salad.
DeleteWould you just look at those beautiful colors. The sea looks GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteLooks like paradise!
ReplyDeleteAh, paradise indeed, Mersad!!! Superb captures as always! I do love the sea!!
ReplyDeletethe colors in your photos are so vivid!! what a beautiful time you had!

ReplyDeleteThanks Brian for visiting.
DeleteThe water looks fantastic to me!
ReplyDeleteIt was very nice to swim in, even on this cloudy day.
DeleteThe old expression 'wish you were here' suddenly changed to 'wish I was there' ,,, smiles. It certainly looks a gorgeous resort and the photographs are stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you Valerie. So glad you enjoyed these.
DeleteWell, you'd never like our beaches then....they're most all the time crowded...with fishermen, surfers, those having beach parties, etc. etc. Best time here is in the winter. Cold, but most beaches are abandoned then. Wonderful vacation photos.
ReplyDeleteI think that when it comes to relaxing it's nicer when the beach is not too crowded. I also think that winter beaches have their charm.
Deleteexcellent photographic moments and a lovely location too. Carole, at snaphappyonline.blogspot.com

DeleteIt might have been a little choppy but it looks absolutely beautiful
