The island of Rab is the perfect place for those who
love nature and tranquility but also some gay life:
on the island there is a vast legal nudist area on the
Frkanj peninsula.
The nudist area ends with two bays and a beautiful rocky
beach where is the gay area. Don't think you'll find
here the big crowd of Mykonos or Ibiza: everything is
more relaxed and quite. In the peak of the season there
are about 50 guys.
Further more there is a splendid pine wood right by
the beach offering shadow, fresh air and the opportunity
to cruise for the local fauna...
The nudist beach is large, with many trees to provide
shade, beautiful clean sea. There are also showers in
regular intervals, sport facilities, massage...
The beach restaurant has a good menu and moderate prices.
How to reach the nudist beach?
You can reach Kandarola beach by boat (two possibilities)
or by car.
1. From the harbor of the Rab old
town, in front of the Imperial Hotel leaves the Taxi
Boat (approx. 2.6 Euro) that take you to the entrance
of the nudist beach. Departures every hour.
2. From the harbor of the village of Palit (5-10
minutes walk from the town of Rab), just close to the
Thalassotherapy building, get the Taxi Boat (approx.
2 Euro - departures every 10-20 minutes) to beach, that
is located in the peninsula right across at short distance,
ask to get off at the nudist beach - FKK in Frkanj peninsula.
Once you get off the boat go straight across the wood
until you reach the sea on the other side of the peninsula
(just follow the crowd) and then turn right following
the foot-path until you reach a booth where you'll pay
the ticket to enter the nudist beach (approx. 0.9 Euro).
Continue, with the sea always at your left till you
reach a restaurant. You're nearly arrived to the gay
beach: shortly after you'll pass a small circular bar
made of stones, follow the path uphill and get across
the promontory facing you. It takes about 20 min walk
to get here after you get off the boat, but it is really
worth the effort!
3. The beach can also be reached by car: from
Rab follow indications to Kampor. After the S.Eufemja
Church, by the restaurant Eufemja, at your left you'll
find the road to the Hotel Eva of Suha Punta. Here the
road stops and you can park the car in the hotel parking.
Go down on foot toward the sea, once you reach the concrete
path, turn left. You'll reach a small wooden booth where
you'll pay the ticket (approx. 0.9 Euro) to enter the
nudist beach.. Follow the path on your right to get
to the gay beach.
