The Crikvenica Riviera is part of the mainland coastline of Croatia that faces the northern part of the large island of Krk. The heart of the riviera area is the town of Crikvenica, which blends into the neighboring towns on either side: Dramalj to the north and Selce to the south. Altogether, the Selce-Crikvenica-Dramalj conglomeration spans about 8 kilometers of coastline. Toward the very northern end of this stretch, there are two nude beaches that are quite close together. One is along a forested stretch of coastline that lies between two pockets of development in Dramalj. The other lies a bit farther northwest, on a protrusion of land called the Kačjak peninsula (where this placemark is pinpointed). The two nude areas are a literal distance of about 400 meters apart and a walking distance of about 800 meters apart.

To get to the beaches, a prominent starting point of reference in the Konzum supermarket (pinpointed) that is located more or less at the village center of Dramalj. Konzum is located on the main north-south thoroughfare through town (not the D8 coastal highway, but a parallel street closer to the coast). From the Konzum intersection, follow the sign pointing toward Kačjak. This road will curve northward and go by the town beach of Dramalj. About 600 meters from Konzum, you will pass the last of the clustered houses, and at that point you will be going north along the coastline. In front of you lies about 750 meters of forested coastline with no houses. The central area of this very rocky stretch is an informal nude area. There are places to park alongside the street, then the coast is just steps away.

The more popular of the two nude areas is farther ahead. Keep going north. As you emerge from the forested area and approach the next cluster of development, you will reach a small marina (pinpointed for reference) and you will be on the east side of a triangular bay. The land mass on the opposite side of the bay is the Kačjak peninsula, which is occupied by the Kačjak tourist village (shaded in green). The designated nude beach area of Kačjak is the southwest-facing part of the peninsula. If you look to your left as you pass by the small marina, the nude area is straight across the bay and then around the bend, just out of view. Continue following signs into Kačjak, where there is parking.

Note: The northern extension of the area shaded in green is the popular textile beach of Kačjak.
