Baldarin

Baldarin is a seasonal naturist campsite on the Island of Cres, reached by car and ferry to Cres and then by local road through woodland south of Punta Kriza. The last section is on foot over uneven rocky paths, so allow extra time and wear sturdy footwear for the walk to the shore. On-site parking is for registered campers, with limited space for day visitors, and day access may be restricted in peak season. Overnight stays require registration and a fee for entry or overnight stay is generally expected, so have documents and payment ready on arrival. The camp is best used from June to September, when summers are warm and dry and sea conditions are calmest in mid-summer. Mornings and late afternoons offer milder sun and calmer conditions for swimming and for walking the rocky paths. The shore is rocky with hard surfaces and rocky water entry, leading to clear sea water with deeper areas near shore. Water shoes help on the rocks, and less confident swimmers should stay near the edge because no regular lifeguard service is expected and swimming is at own risk. Sun exposure is high on the shore with limited shade near the water, while parts of the camp have natural shade from trees. Bring sun protection and drinking water, as shade and supplies near the shore are limited. Shared toilets and showers are provided for campsite users and should be shared with care in busy periods. Food and drink options are limited in season, so self-catering is practical for both short and longer stays. Dog rules may vary by season and pitch area, so check before travelling with a dog. Stays of several days are common for campers settling into the seasonal routine, while day visits last several hours around swimming and rest on the shore.
