Bačvice, Split
Also known as the living room of Split and the temple of the Picigin traditional beach ball game, Bačvice Beach offers the pleasure of swimming in one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean.

During the summer, it is packed with swimmers who enjoy the stunning view of the islands of the Split archipelago and the city’s vibrant nightlife.

Omiš – Beach Punta (Velika Plaža)

Šunj, Lopud
On the island of Lopud, the magical Prince of the Elaphiti Islands, you will find the most popular sandy beach in the waters of Dubrovnik.

During the day, Šunj Bay is a lively and fun place filled with boaters and swimmers. At night, it wears a cloak made of stars and whispers sweet nothings to the sea.

Saplun Beach

To reach this beach, you will first have to travel to Lastovo, the most remote inhabited island in Croatia, and then find a boat to take you to an uninhabited island with the only sandy beach in the Lastovo dream-like archipelago.

Trust us, the distance is well worth crossing because Saplun Beach is truly out of this world. White sand, turquoise sea, and the gentle sounds of the waves. What more do you need…
