Why Planjka matters.
Planjka sits on the southeast side of Stara Novalja Bay. The official Tourist Board describes it as fine-sand, warm, shallow and well equipped, with hospitality and recreation facilities.
Its visitor proposition is unusually clear: easier entry, warmer shallow water and a layout that works well for families. That makes Planjka one of the most practical anchors for a Stara Novalja stay.
Best for
Families, relaxed swims, longer beach days and visitors who prefer a gentler entry into the Adriatic.
When to go
Early morning gives the calmest rhythm; later afternoon softens the heat. Outside peak summer, the bay can feel dramatically quieter while still offering the same landscape.
