Frequently asked questions about beach volleyball on Krk (FAQ)

1. Where are there freely accessible beach volleyball courts on Krk?
You’ll find public courts at, among others, Dunat beach (Kornić), Portapisana beach (Krk town), at Sv. Marek beach (Risika) and in Pesja bay in Omišalj.

2. Can all courts be used free of charge?
Most courts on public beaches can be used free of charge. At facilities in camping resorts or hotels (such as Ježevac or Aminess Atea), registered guests have priority; outside visitors sometimes pay a small court fee or have to book in advance at the sports reception.

3. Can you rent balls on site?

4. Are there floodlights for evening games?
Floodlights are rare and found almost exclusively in the modern sports resorts (e.g. Valamar V-Sport). Most matches are played in daylight – ideally in the late afternoon when the sun is lower.

5. Are tournaments organised in summer?
Yes, in July and August local beach bars, sports clubs and campsites regularly hold small amateur and company tournaments. You’ll often find notices on site along the beach promenades.

Practical tips for your match on Krk

To keep the game fun even in Mediterranean temperatures, follow these recommendations:

  • Timing: Play in the morning until 10:30 am or in the evening from 5:30 pm to avoid the blazing midday heat.
  • Sand socks: The sand gets very hot in high summer – neoprene or beach volleyball socks protect your feet perfectly.
  • Refreshment: Make sure you have enough sun protection and water. Luckily many spots are right next to shady beaches on Krk and cosy beach bars.
