Essentials
This is a list of the stores where you can get your essentials.
The nearest large supermarket. It takes 15 minutes on foot to get there, and 3 minutes to get there using the car. It is a bit uphill so I recommend the car whenever you have a chance. Works until 10pm in the summer.

Beaches in Zadar
Zadar has quite a few beaches inside the town. Those are - Diklo, Puntamika, Borik, Uskok, Kolovare, Punta Bajlo etc. Most of them are beaches with the rocks but the beach Borik has a small part where is sand. However we do not recommend that beach if you like sandy beaches - it is much better to visit some beaches outside of the Zadar if you prefer sandy beaches.
If you have a car, we reccommend you check some other beaches outside of Zadar. Check the list of beaches outside Zadar!
Beach Puntamika
7-8 Obala kneza DomagojaThe largest public beach in this part of the town. It is made mostly of the small rocks. There is a caffe bar on the beach and a large dock where you can try diving!

Another great spot for the coffee in the morning and afternoon. The position is right next to the city harbor and with the view to the old town and Zadar archipelago islands. The coffee is not so good, but with this kind of view, it is the secondary thing.
