DUBROVNIK BEACHES & ISLANDS GUIDE
our personal collection of beaches and islands - starting from easy access and well known to the wilder, more secluded spots to suit your wishes with our honest opinions.
Banje beach Dubrovnik
Likely the most famous and busiest beach situated on the edge of Dubrovnik old town, minutes from everything. One side of beach is occupied by the restaurant and beach bar with sunloungers for rent and other side is open to the public. stairs access. Gets very busy in summer months. pebble and sand.
Sveti Jakov beach (St. Jacob’s beach)
If you are ok with 160 steps.. this is another popular beach with a restaurant and bar, and a small amount of room for non-paying sun lounge guests. Nice view of Lokrum Island and Old town and longest sunshine time.
25 min walk from Old town or 5 min drive. water taxi boats also go and drop you at the small pier which is handy for carrying all your great beach gear! you can also set up your comfy chairs on the pier.
Tip: just around the corner is the ruin of the Belvedere Hotel, and some swimming platforms there which is a locals hangout. Pretty cool.
The Rocks *divocici
15 min walk east of Old town. Also plenty of steep stairs to reach this swim area which is not a beach but an expanse of seaside rock formations, some filled in to make for comfortable sunbathing. Here for an umbrella you would need a stand. Our cushioned seats, floats, and piknik would be great here *but do think of carrying it back up! Excellent swimming here with ladders into the sea and views of Betina cave, Dubrovnik and Lokrum island directly across.
Used to be just locals but has been discovered somewhat but still far less crowded than Banje beach.
rock formations Lokrum island
There is a nude beach on the eastern side far end of island
two cafe bars and a restaurant
washrooms
Game of Thrones museum
Lokrum Island
Our beloved Dubrovnik picnic and escape destination-this forested island is a perfect mediterranean escape, and only 15min hop by boat from the old town Dubrovnik. Rocky expanses and shores with ladders into the sea. Mystical monastery grounds, and peacocks wandering about. Shaded olive grove, and lovely walking trails that wind through the pines and up to a fort with spectacular views. The Dead Sea is often busy with kids but still a lovely spot to jump in. Lokrum island is really great for families, and even better if you bring your beach essentials and picnic with you!
Dance beach *pronounced dan-che
10 min walk west of old town - accessed via Gradac park
A true local hangout, with a beach bar and area full of speedos and shouting over cold beers and card games. Rock platforms with ladders into the sea. Our cushions or mats would be good here with a few snacks in the backpack!
Sulic Bay beach
5 min walk west of old town via Pile neighborhood
Tiny local’s beach in a hugely dramatic setting. A narrow bay that is shouldered on each side by towering cliffs, and the Lovrijenac fortress on the left, beach bars on right.
Lapad Bay
This large beach in another area of urban Dubrovnik is about 15 min drive from Old town or bus number 6. It is a large beach, and in 2024 none of the concessions were open so there was plenty of room to put up an umbrella and settle in. Along the coast on each side there are nice spots on the rocks.
Sunj beach - Lopud Island
Everyone asks about a sandy beach - and this is the only one in the region so it does get busy with boats, and the beach is lined with beach bars for a beach and party day! Three island boat tours arrive in the droves. Lopud is lovely to explore, and is accessed by a ferry departing daily from Gruz harbour - then you must walk across the island to the beach 25 min, or hire a golf cart! Great day trip.
Pasjace beach, Konavle *need a car
East of Dubrovnik, in the airport direction 1/2 hr drive is Konavle valley. The sea facing side of the valley is flanked by monumental cliffs, and some spectacular hidden beaches. Pasjace beach is one of those, that although named one of the best beaches in Europe by Forbes magazine, the cliff hugging path that leads to the beach through a short tunnel cave edits out alot of people. But, if you are the adventurous type its worth it!
TIP: loses sun early due to the cliff. no cell reception down there.
BEACHES OUTSIDE of DUBROVNIK towards SPLIT
Veliki Zali beach
If you have wheels and feel like taking off, or are heading up the coast towards Split, Veliki Zali is a beach with nice pebbled shores and very clear water. There is a restaurant/bar area and parking. Nearby villages along the coast also have small beaches. This would be a great beach for umbrellas and chairs and floats, and a picnic!
Velika Duba beach - honorable mention out of town beach
Makarska Riviera region
One of the most stunning beaches on the stretch between Makarska and Ploce.
Pristine turquoise water, fringed by green pines, a large bay and pebbled beach with a small beach bar. Best to bring a picnic, umbrella, seats, and floats. Pay parking. has basic wc run by the bar.
NOTE ABOUT FKK beaches - Nude beaches
Nude beaches are quite common in Croatia, but often the most wild and hidden. you can often spot signs leading to them stating FKK . Read about the history of nude beaches in my blog post, Kiss Me.

Makarska Riviera region picnic!
Gourmet picnic in an abandoned hillside village
Relax on the shady and private terrace for a peaceful, intimate and quintessentially rustic picnic experience.
Table of handpicked local specialties from three Dalmatian regions, refreshments, and our own small batch olive oil tasting.
“We are now engaged, and sitting on our terrace talking about our evening last night. We had an amazing time - we sat at all the lovely places you arranged around the house, and listened to the birds and owls, the cats came by. It was wonderful, and we didn’t want to leave!”
If you are driving the gorgeous coastal road coast between Split and Dubrovnik, staying in the Makarska Riviera region, or travelling to or from Hvar island via Drvenik port and village, consider adding a lovely stop for a refreshing and intimate picnic in the old village set on the hills of Biokovo mountain range, just above the sparkling coast. A few turns up and you are in a different world that seems miles, not minutes from the hustle bustle of the beaches and traffic.
Proposals, birthdays, intimate special occasions, and family fun.
A great pause on the road trip between destinations!
This sweeping valley of ancient olive groves and pine forests is packed with layers of history and stories. In the abandoned village sits our lovely, tiny house. We invite you to our terrace shaded by grape vines for a special picnic. A true treat in the heat of summer to have a break from it all!
Sample our olive oil, and a delicous array of Croatian specialties carefully sourced from three regions! A scenic 5 minute walk takes us to the house through this tiny abandoned village where one can imagine the lives lived up here long ago.
INFO
This special experience is available upon request, and must be booked in advance to check our availability as we are not always there!
Access to the house is walk in only. Very easy on a road, but not suitable for people with mobility issues.
The village is located directly above the coastal village of Drvenik - Donje Vala and the D8 highway. Also directly above the port for the ferry that connects with the southern end of Hvar island, alternate driving access for the island. Ferries run often all day to Sucuraj village. Hvar town is at the other end of the island 1.5 hr drive.
From Split on the scenic D8 Highway it is about 2hrs drive. Or the fast road E65 1hr 25
From Makarska, the hub of the Riviera it is 35 minutes, similar from ferry port PLOCE, where the ferry from Peljesac arrives.
From Dubrovnik approx 2hrs 15 min
If you are driving we meet you at the highway turn off for the old village and you follow us up.
If you are with a private driver we feed them for free.
We can pick guests up at the highway or harbour as well, for groups of 4 and less.
A secluded and private picnic is a wonderful addition to your trip up or down the Dalmatian coast or a stay in the Makarska region!
Feel free to inquire with any questions or help with planning your trip. We can suggest heaps of other highlights in the region from wineries, beaches, hikes, accommodations, restaurants, adventure, and driving routes.

PICNIC LOVE and MEMORIES
The most rewarding thing about creating Piknik Dubrovnik is the stories and appreciation our guests return with at the end of the day!

WE COULD TASTE THE LOVE
"When I was younger, and we ate something special that someone had prepared, we would say that we could taste the love that was used to prepare that food. That was certainly true with our piknik." Paul C. USA
"Now to the meal itself. We got out our menu and wow it was fabulous! There were lots of little boxes and it was great to open them up to reveal their delicious contents. The tiffin box was so great! A lovely touch. Everything was fresh and a great deal of thought had gone into the ingredients.. so you felt at least you were getting real local food. Truly perfect".
"Everything was wonderful. The highlights for me were (1) the pork tenderloin with the delicious cheese, fig jam and pear slices: and (2) the fresh pressed olive oil - I never tasted anything like that!.. and (2) the variety of different foods you provided that allowed us to enjoy so many different foods (and drinks)." Paul C. USA
GEORGE HAD A CAST ON HIS LEG BUT STILL WENT TO THE ISLAND
"It was so lovely, the location, sites, the art by the well you told me about, and of course eating your delicious Piknik lunch seaside! Loved all the food and drink, just wish I could have eaten it all! Took what I could, also enjoyed feeding the peacocks and rabbits. Thanks again, wonderful to meet you and all the best!" George, USA
"It was one of the best parts of our entire European trip! Thank you! Delish!" Anna, Australia

We spent a good long time under the olives gorging until we could go no further." Jess, New Zealand
"The piknik was amazing!!! Perfect weather sitting in the olive grove with the bunnies and the peacocks. Went for a swim after and fell asleep on the rocks. Wow!!
