# Selehovica Beach

> Selehovica is a 300-metre quieter mixed pebble and rocky beach in northern Omišalj, beyond Pušća and approaching the Krk Bridge. Foot/bike access only, no facilities, and the same protected bay water as Pušća but a meaningfully wilder atmosphere thanks to the lack of road access.

## About

Selehovica Beach occupies a long stretch of coastline in the northernmost part of Omišalj, between Pušća to the south and the Krk Bridge to the north. The shoreline is mixed — about 300 metres of fine pebble interrupted by rocky platforms and ledges — with a uniform pebble seabed in the central section and rocky margins at the edges. Water clarity is good (visibility 5–7 metres on calm days).

No facilities exist at Selehovica. No kiosks, toilets, showers, or rental loungers. There's no road access either — visitors arrive on foot from Pušća (about 10 minutes' walk along the coastal path) or by bike. The lack of vehicle access keeps commercial development entirely out.

The practical attraction is the quieter atmosphere. Where Pušća has free parking and modest visitor density, Selehovica's foot-only access keeps it consistently quieter even in peak summer. Most visitors are local Omišalj residents on extended walks or bike rides along the coastal path.

Selehovica is the right beach for visitors based in Omišalj who want a quieter alternative to Pušća, snorkellers seeking the rocky margins, and travellers willing to walk 10 minutes for solitude. It's not the right beach for visitors expecting amenities or families with very young children given the walking access.

The Krk Bridge view from the northern end of Selehovica is among the more dramatic on the island — closer to the bridge than Voz or Pušća, with the structure rising dramatically from the channel. Photographers chasing bridge-related compositions find Selehovica particularly rewarding at sunset when the structure catches the warm light.

The Krk Bridge view from Selehovica's northern end is among the more striking on the island for photographers, particularly in the hour before sunset when the bridge's twin reinforced-concrete arches catch warm light against the Kvarner Bay. The structure dates to 1980 and remained the world's longest concrete arch span until 1997; engineering enthusiasts find the close-range perspective from Selehovica more rewarding than the standard tourist viewpoints further south. The headland walk continuing west from Selehovica connects to a series of unnamed smaller coves accessible only on foot — a practical option for visitors wanting to extend the beach day with quiet exploration. Most of these coves have no formal names; locals refer to them by descriptive terms (the small one with the white rock, the one with the pine tree). Knowledgeable hikers can spend a full day exploring this stretch with multiple swim stops, or do a shorter 90-minute round-trip from Selehovica's western end.
