St. Andrew's Island, also known as Crveni Otok, is the largest island in the Rovinj archipelago located in Istria, Croatia. This scenic island is renowned for its numerous beautiful beaches, predominantly stony with typical coves covered in pebbles. The most popular beaches are on the island's south side near the hotel and depandance, where visitors can enjoy easy access to services and amenities. A small stretch near the island's little port is gravel-covered, making it particularly suitable for families with children and seniors seeking gentler beach terrain.
Visitors can also explore the west side of St. Andrew’s Island, where high rocky cliffs offer opportunities for diving into the Adriatic Sea. This quieter area is ideal for those wanting to avoid crowds and enjoy some solitude. The neighboring islet of Maškin offers more secluded, rocky beaches with smaller bays, perfect for privacy and tranquility. The combination of natural beauty, spacious beaches, and a peaceful atmosphere contributes to the island's appeal as a perfect holiday destination for individuals, couples, and families alike.
Beyond the beaches, St. Andrew's Island features amenities such as a restaurant, swimming pool, miniature golf, and a diving center, enhancing the overall visitor experience. Visitors often praise the island's harmonious blend of natural charm and well-developed facilities, making it a preferred spot for sunbathing, swimming, and leisure in a serene environment.
