Trstevica Beach(Plaza Trstevica, Plaža Trstevica)

Dining near Trstevica Beach centers on family-run konobas (taverns) and seafood-focused eateries. Restaurant Val at Hotel Maestral delivers fresh Adriatic catches like grilled fish and octopus, paired with terrace views of the harbor[^map]. MARETA stands out for its women-owned kitchen serving organic dishes, including standout grilled calamari and Dalmatian peka (slow-cooked meat), with wheelchair accessibility[^map]. Temporarily closed Konoba Stara Makina typically offers rooftop seafood, steak, and vegan options, while Konoba & Guest house ROKO provides casual dinners with local wines. For quick bites, Pizzeria&Konoba Nanini serves wood-fired pizzas, though currently closed[^map].

Accommodations near Trstevica Beach prioritize intimate, waterfront stays. Hotel Maestral offers harbor-facing rooms with minimalist decor and a terrace restaurant serving daily catches[^map]. While the larger Hotel Olympia in Vodice (15km away) provides pools and a spa, most guests prefer Prvić’s locally owned guesthouses like Konoba ROKO’s annex for authentic island immersion[^map].

Trstevica Beach’s amenities focus on simplicity, with basic restrooms and outdoor showers near entry points. While no rental kiosks exist on-site, nearby konobas offer lounge chairs seasonally. The beach lacks organized picnic areas, but visitors often bring mats to enjoy shaded spots beneath pines. Freshwater access is limited, requiring reliance on nearby cafés[^map].

Swimming and snorkeling dominate here, with calm waters revealing small fish and sea urchins. Kayaks can sometimes be rented from neighboring villages for coastal exploration. Hiking trails connect the beach to historic sites like Šepurine’s 15th-century churches and the Vrančić Memorial[^map]. Evening passeggiatas (strolls) along the waterfront promenade are a cultural staple.

While the beach itself has pebbled terrain challenging for wheelchairs, restaurants like MARETA offer accessible seating and entrances. The ferry to Prvić Šepurine accommodates wheelchairs with advance notice, but village paths feature uneven stone paving[^map].

As a car-free island, Prvić Šepurine requires visitors to park in Šibenik or Vodice mainland lots (€2-5/hour) before taking a 30-minute ferry. Limited free street parking exists near Šibenik’s harbor, though early arrival is essential during peak season[^map].

Prvić Šepurine’s claim to fame includes inventing the parachute – polymath Faust Vrančić tested his Homo Volans design here circa 1617. The island’s stone walls contain hidden “suhozid” dry-stacking techniques dating to Illyrian times. Locals still use traditional wooden batek boats for fishing[^map].

The Faust Vrančić Memorial Center, dedicated to the Renaissance polymath who invented the parachute, sits 15 minutes uphill. Hikers can explore the Marko Spejac Trail circling the island, passing olive groves and abandoned stone shelters. Nearby Prvić Luka village features Baroque architecture and working fishing docks[^map].
