Beaches
It's unfortunate that Rab isn't very well known for its sandy beaches, so one could consider the fact that it is one of the island with the most sandy beaches on the Adriatic sea, a well-kept secret. Another factor adding to this myth is the fact that 35% of the island is covered in forest, which makes it the greenest Adratic island with its own ecosystem of unique flora and fauna. We advise our tourists to visit some of the most beautiful forests of the island for a unique view of the Adriatic coastline.
