When we climb from the Punat valley, and at a height of around 330 m, we pass through the Treskavac hills, surrounded by the highest hill on the island (Obzova, around 570 m) and we then suddenly find ourselves in front of the Baška hill-encircled valley, where we remain surprised, almost breathless. The Baška area on the south-eastern part of the island is particular for some of its curiosities. This is because we are not prepared for this kind of play on nature, the bond between the mountains and the sea. The Croatian birth certificate - the Baška tablet was found here in 1100. Baška is also recognizable as having one of the largest and most beautiful pebble beaches on the Adriatic, which is in a semicircle and more than 1800 metres long. The naturally fine sand provides, especially for children and non-swimmers, pleasure on the beach, as the sea level increases gradually. Like other villages on the island of Krk, even this village's old part contains the narrow streets and houses positioned one close to the other so that the atmosphere is typically Mediterranean. Apart from its beautiful beach, Baška is also interesting for its characteristic architecture, numerous cultural and historical monuments and its surrounding tour paths. Baška is also recognizable for its high quality accommodation facilities, from hotels and camp-sites to private accommodation capacities. The origins of tourism date back to the beginning of the 20th century, when, in 1904, the “City Embellishment Society” was founded. Two years later, the first hotel was opened and in 1908, the beach was laid out with its beach building. Its first guests were Czechs who remain faithful even today. These guests arrived thanks to Prague’s “National politics” director, Emil Geistlich, who was a great friend of the village and who spread the word about the beauty of this area. The people from Baška acknowledged him by erecting a monument close to the beach.

Kada se od puntarske drage penjemo uzbrdo i na oko 330 m prelazimo obronke Treskavca, s najvišim vrhovima otoka pa se sasvim iznenada i naglo nađemo pred bašćanskom kotlinom, ostajemo zatečeni, gotovo bez daha. Jer, nismo bili pripremljeni na baš takvu igru prirode, spoj planina i mora. Baška, Bašćansko područje na jugoistoku otoka je po nekim svojim zančajkama iznimno. Upravo ovdje, oko 1100. godine nastaje krsni list Hrvata- Bašćanska ploča. Baška je prepoznatljiva i po jednoj od najvećih i najljepših šljunčanih plaža na Jadranu, dužine u polukrugu više od 1 800 metara. Prirodno fini pijesak posebice omogućuje neplivačima i djeci uživanje na plaži, jer se dubina mora postupno povećava. Poput ostalih krčkih mjesta, i u starom dijelu ovoga su mjesta uske uličice, kuće blizu jedna drugoj tako da je ugođaj tipičan mediteranski. Osim prekrasne plaže, Baška je zanimljiva po svojoj karakterističnoj arhitekturi, brojnim kulturnopovijesnim spomenicima te po okolnim izletničkim stazama. Baška je prepoznatljiva i po smještajnim objektima visoke razine, od hotela, kampova pa se do privatnih smještajnih kapaciteta. Začeci turizma sežu daleko na početak dvadesetog stoljeća, kada se ovdje 1904. godine osniva "Društvo za poljepšanje grada", dvije godine kasnije otvoren je i prvi hotel, a 1908. godine uređeno kupalište s kupališnom zgradom. Prvi su gosti bili Česi koji su i danas vjerni mjestu. Ovi gosti došli su zahvaljujući direktoru praške "Narodne politike" Emilu Geistlichu, velikom prijatelju mjesta, koji je pronio glas o ljepoti ovog kraja. Bašćani su mu zahvalili spomenikom uz plažu.
