using only bare hands, kurendol – tennis played using feet, and lastly – tennis played using heads, which emerged on the Danube banks. Transportation Historically, the most common ways to arrive at the beach were by walking, bikes, carriages, boats, and trams (later on motors, cars, and buses). Trčika, a small electric tram with three wagons was getting people to Štrand for years. Yellow electric trams appeared on the streets of Novi Sad on 30 September, 1911, when they replaced the omnibuses pulled by horses. On 30 September, 1958, the trams were replaced by buses. Trčika’s first stop was in Železnička Street, and the last one was in front of Štrand. It was usually used by the more wealthier citizens. Bike racks are located in front of the Štrand beach, stretching all the way from Fruškogorska Street to the Štrand’s main entrance, which was enough space for around 2 or 3 thousand bikes. NS bike, a local bike renting service company, has its own bike rack area near the entrance of the beach. Cars can arrive from Fruškogorska Street and Despot Stefan Boulevard, with several available parking lots (Parkiralište Štrand being the largest and closest to the beach). JGSP Novi Sad public bus transportation has several urban lines (1,1Z,7B,8) that stop near the modern entrance of Štrand, serving also as the endpoint for those bus lines.
