Top Must-Haves on the Beach in Zaton

Situated in a sheltered bay, Zaton beach is widely famous as one of the best beaches in Croatia. There is a long stretch of shallow water and not much chance for large waves, which makes it perfect for children. The beach is pebbly and sandy, with access for people with disabilities, and a number of services available for a great stay. Excellent water quality and a thick shade of the pine trees give you additional reasons to simply love it. In order to make your day at the beach fantastic, here are a few things to take with you:

1. Sun cream

It’s the number one item you need, regardless of the shade. For a nice tan and in order to avoid that painful red skin, remember to put some on more than once, particularly if you spend the whole day at the beach.

2. Sunglasses & hats

Similarly, sunglasses and/or a hat aren’t just fashionable accessories for the beach. They will keep you from squinting in the sun and just enjoy the scenery around you.

3. Beach chair & sun umbrella

Think about what will make you feel comfortable the whole day. A beach blanket or a towel? A beach tent or a sun umbrella? There are also benches available for you to sit on as well as beach chairs and sun umbrellas you can rent, so it’s not something you have to necessarily take with you.

4. Food and refreshment

Don't forget to have plenty of water and some snacks for when you feel peckish. Summer fruit such as watermelon is also an excellent choice. Luckily, with snack bars and restaurants nearby, you won't have to worry about getting a full meal nor summer’s favourite dessert - ice cream.

5. Toys and fun things

Don’t forget the items that will make fun time at the beach even greater. Ball, beach paddles, snorkeling gear, bucket and spade, cards, board games, popular inflatables of all shapes, sizes and colours, and anything else you enjoy solo or with your family.

6. Items for peaceful relaxation

There is always the moment when you just want to sit and relax by reading a good book, listening to your favourite playlist or browsing your favourite social network. So, make sure you have your books, magazines and gadgets with you.

7. Spare clothes

For a whole day on the beach, remember to bring a spare swimwear. That way you can change and feel cosy when you go for lunch or simply decide to take a break from water in the shade.

8. First aid kit

Only a few basics for just in case will be enough - plasters, aspirines, hand sanitizer, bug bites and rash lotion, to name just a few. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and these essentials don't really take up that much space.

Anything else you can’t do without

Depending on your idea of great time at the beach you can take just a few items or have your hands full of bags. Whether you take inflatable flamingos or unicorns, in the end it all comes down to fun your family will most definitely have on the beach at Zaton Holiday Resort!
