The setting is sheltered: the inlet cuts the swell almost entirely, so the water stays flat and warm for most of the season. Sand at the shoreline is unusual on this coast and the reason the spot draws families in preference to the pebble beaches further east toward Topla.

Drinks and light plates come directly onto the beach from the bar, with loungers and umbrellas available through the season. Behind the bar, the Lazure Hotel occupies the restored 18th-century Austro-Hungarian naval hospital that gives the complex its name. Guests have direct beach access through the garden. Day visitors can reach the beach from the Meljine coastal road, roughly ten minutes by car or bus from the Old Town.
