About
Miramare Beach sits in front of the historic Hotel Miramare, one of Njivice's older hotel properties dating to the 1930s and the central reference point on the village's western seafront. The beach itself is fine pebble — about 180 metres long and 12 metres wide at average depth — with a uniform pebble seabed and gradual entry. Water clarity is good (visibility 5–7 metres on calm days); the bay's western orientation gives full afternoon and evening sun.
Facilities are good thanks to the hotel-adjacent setup: freshwater showers and toilets at two locations, multiple beach bars open through the day, rental sun loungers and umbrellas covering the central section (~€10–15 per day for two loungers + umbrella in 2024 prices), and a long pine-shaded section at the back of the beach with informal seating. Lifeguards are not formally posted but the beach bar staff keep an eye on the water in normal hours.
The defining feature is the historic Hotel Miramare itself. The hotel's grand 1930s façade overlooks the beach, giving Miramare a more old-world resort character than the more modern hotel beaches further south. Many of Njivice's repeat visitors specifically book Miramare for this character; the beach reflects this with a meaningfully more sedate atmosphere than busier Kijac (Tier-1).
Paid parking is in the hotel's lot 200 metres from the beach (€3/hour in peak season for non-guests). Walking from elsewhere in central Njivice is often easier than driving — most accommodations are within a 5-10 minute walk.
Miramare is the right beach for hotel-resort visitors wanting hotel-adjacent amenities, travellers preferring an old-world resort feel over modern central beaches, and visitors based anywhere in central Njivice who want full beach amenities at walking distance. It's not the right beach for visitors expecting unique character — Hotel Miramare is one of many central Njivice hotels, and the beach reflects standard Croatian resort character. For more distinctive options, head to Kijac for the dog-friendly section, or to Pod Crikvun for the quieter walk-from-village alternative.
Hotel Miramare's 1930s grand-resort architecture reflects the broader Italian-influenced design aesthetic of the eastern Adriatic between the wars — rounded balconies, terracotta-tile facades, and large terraces meant for evening promenade and aperitivo. The hotel name itself ('sea view' in Italian) is a holdover from the period when much of the eastern Adriatic coastline carried Italian-language signage. Visitors interested in this era can ask at the hotel reception for old photos of the original 1930s building.
