Gradina is a natural beach with a sandy shore. It sits outside any built-up area, and you get there on foot, by a footpath. The seabed drops away gently, at under 15°. For anyone arriving by boat, there is mooring on the beach itself. In season it is usually quiet, and the prevailing wind blows from the north-east. There is no parking at the beach itself.
