Bela Stena

Bela Stena (Serbian: Бела Стена) is an island resort in the Danube, located in the city of Pančevo in Serbia.

After World War I, Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was formed, and the Danube ceased being a northern border of Serbia.

Members of the Pančevo Youth Association organized fundraising and formed a society for establishing a beach ("bath") on the Forkontumac, where present Bela Stena is.

[2] It took some time for the beach to gain popularity among the citizens of Pančevo, but in 1922 additional 30 cabins were built on Lido which became a major excursion site for entire families.

Allegedly, when the landslide occurred on the island, to the distant fishermen from Višnjica and Veliko Selo it appeared as the white rocks.

With the rapid expansion and modernization of Ada Ciganlija, close to downtown Belgrade, and the emergence of the Lido beach near Zemun, Bela Stena gradually became less popular, though it is estimated that some 7,000 people still visit over the weekends during summer season.
