Sea Kayaking in Pag Bay, Dalmatia: Caves and Cliffs

Paddle into caves, past white cliffs, between swimming stops on empty beaches

Sea kayaking in Pag Bay is a four-hour paddle from Ručica Beach through a stark white-stone landscape, with stops at Sušac cape, Gače Cave, and four named beaches for swimming and exploration. The route includes kayak, paddle, safety vest and dry bag. An English-speaking guide leads the excursion. Children from age four are welcome, and pickup is available as part of one booking option.

The experience

The day starts at Ručica Beach with a briefing before you push off toward Sušac cape. The route passes Stogaj and Teplica cliffs (the white stone rises sharp against the water), and opens into spacious sandy stretches. Your first swim break lands at Sušac, where you can leave the kayak and cool off in the bay.

From there the paddle continues to Gače Cave, where you can paddle partway inside and explore what the rock holds. The route moves on to Malin Beach for another swim and access to fresh drinking water, then finishes at Beriknica Beach, known for its natural rock formation. After a final break, you paddle back to Ručica Beach to end.

The kayak, paddle, safety vest and dry bag are all provided. An English-speaking guide leads the group through the four-hour route. Pickup is included if you book the transport option. If you arrange your own way to Ručica Beach, that option is available too. Children from age four can join, though the activity is not suitable for non-swimmers or for anyone with spinal injuries.
