Kamenice Beach
0
Kamenice Beach is one of the most famous and special beaches in Komiža, not only because of its beauty, but also because of its unique volcanic origin. It is located at the very exit from the town, and was formed on a part of the coast shaped by ancient eruptions that created the islets of Jabuka and Brusnik. It is precisely because of these greenish volcanic rocks, which are found nowhere else on the Adriatic, that Kamenice is geologically and visually extremely interesting. The name of the beach comes from the stone vessels "kamenica" in which drinking water was once collected from a spring that still flows among the rocks today. In the past, Komiža women came here to fetch water or wash clothes, and today the beach is a favorite bathing spot and gathering place. Kamenice is a pebble, sheltered beach about a hundred meters long. In the morning it is in the shade, and in the afternoon it is illuminated by the sun until sunset, when it offers one of the most beautiful views of the sea and the horizon. Above the beach there is a pine forest that provides pleasant shade, so it is also suitable for families with children. In addition to its natural beauty, the beach offers various facilities: showers, toilets, fast food, the possibility of renting deck chairs and kayaks, and a beach bar that turns into a club at night. This is why Kamenice is particularly attractive to the younger population in search of fun by the sea. The beach can be reached on foot, approximately 10–15 minutes walk from the center of Komiža. The path leads along the coast, with a beautiful view of the bay, and nearby there is a parking lot at the former "Neptun" factory. Kamenice is the right place where natural uniqueness, history and summer energy come together.
