Lipovica Beach in Opatija: a pebble cove beside the coastal promenade

Updated October 24, 2026.

Lipovica is a pebble beach between central Opatija and Volosko. Pines and a playground line the promenade, with paid parking above the beach.

You can walk to Lipovica along the coast from Opatija or Volosko. The promenade runs behind the pebble shore.

Pebbles cover the recessed part of the coast, with concrete areas alongside. Pines shade the space behind the beach, while the open shore is in the sun. There is also a playground beside the bathing area.

Steps down from Ulica Maršala Tita

The Stubište Lipovica steps lead down from the road towards the beach and promenade. The car park marked ‘Lipovica – pored trafostanice’ is on the inland side of Ulica Maršala Tita, in parking zone 0. An hour costs €2 from June to September and €1.50 from October to May.

Charges apply from 07:00 to midnight between April and September, and from 08:00 to 18:00 between October and March. Parking is free on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 16 December to 15 January.
