Baška is the best-known tourist destinations on the island of Krk. Situated in a quiet valley, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, flowering broom, with a picturesque background of the rocky mountains of Velebit and the island of Prvić, which seems as if it is intent on giving all-round protection to the unique 1,800 m long pebble beach, justly said to be one of the most lovely in the Adriatic.
