The sandy Paradise beach in Lopar stretches for 1.5 kilometres. In 2019 the Ministry of Tourism and National Tourist Board proclaimed it the best beach in Croatia while in 2013 CNN listed it as one of the 100 best beaches in the world.
The festival was first held in 2012 and since then it has grown into an international festival. Below is some of the action from this year’s festival.
