And even when all the boats sailing to Lokrum are full, in this perfect natural oasis for ‘chilling’ there is enough space for everyone to find for themselves some peaceful cantonment.

From rocky beaches on the east and south sides of the island, to lawns where you can lie in the shade of palm trees, olive trees and Aleppo pines indefinitely, while peacocks and rabbits from this unique nature reserve, ‘wire’ you for food.

Banje is very popular beach in Dubrovnik. The reason is because Banje Beach is also the closest beach to the Old Town and one of the most beautiful beaches near Dubrovnik. While the shoreline is mostly pebbles, the water is clear and calm with a big shallow area that’s great for kids. While beautiful, Banje’s popularity does mean it gets quite crowded, especially in the summertime.

 

Plat Beaches

Twelve kilometers east of Dubrovnik, Plat is one of the most beautiful places in the Dubrovnik area. And so are its beaches, from pebble to completely sandy with small interesting coves. Plata can also be reached by excursion boats from the old port of Dubrovnik. The natural harmony here comes to the fore, and the beaches are spacious enough to always find some quiet corner.

Sveti Jakov beach is one of the most attractive and one of the most beautiful beaches near Dubrovnik. It is located in the cove below the church of St. James, and the road to it leads to steep steps, so it is not suitable for the elderly. It is a sandy-pebble beach with an unforgettable view of Lokrum and the old part of town, perhaps even more beautiful than from the beach Banje.

Bellevue Beach is a pebble beach located below the eponymous hotel in Dubrovnik, Croatia. During the summer, when the mistral wind blows from the northwest and wakes up the waves, the beach is quiet, because it is located in a sheltered bay. The shade appears early in the afternoon, so it is ideal for those swimmers who can’t stand the strong sun.
