Visiting the beach
Mali raj is an undeveloped pebble cove near Baška in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia. It is recorded as permissive for naturist use rather than formally designated, so expect a mixed and generally quiet shoreline where discretion matters. There is no gate or ticket documented, and use is usually low-density, with more visitors on calm summer days. The cove has no shops, rentals, toilets or showers. Bring water, food, sun protection, a thick mat and bags for rubbish, as there are no services for a longer stay and no food or drink outlets nearby. The shoreline surface is pebblestone with uneven patches. Sea shoes help for entering the water and moving along the shore. The seawater is generally clear, but depth can change near the edge and the bottom remains stony, so check footing before swimming. There is little natural shade, so morning and late afternoon visits are often more comfortable during June through September, when milder sun and quieter conditions are more likely. Parking is not available at the cove itself. Visitors generally park in Baška and continue on foot. Public transport also ends in Baška, leaving a walk to the shore. The final path is uneven and not suitable for wheelchairs or visitors with limited mobility. Allow extra time, wear sturdy footwear and carry supplies in a backpack for the walk. A short half-day visit works well because of the lack of facilities and the exposed setting. Keep belongings simple, keep noise low, respect other groups, and leave the cove clean.

Naturist rules
Naturism at Mali raj is reported as permissive, not designated or required. Swim and sunbathe nude only where it is clearly comfortable and does not disturb others. Keep distance from other groups, avoid staring and photography, and keep noise low in the small cove. Textile visitors may pass along the shore, so remain calm and discreet. Take all rubbish away and avoid leaving items on shared pebble space. Because the cove is small and sheltered with relative privacy, courtesy matters more when use is low-density. Give others space on the pebblestone surface, keep belongings simple and compact, and avoid blocking the shoreline path. If uncertain whether nudity is welcome, stay discreet and follow the lead of those already present.
