Overview
Dubrovnik's most famous beach sits just outside the Ploce Gate on the east side of the Old Town, offering the unique experience of swimming with the city walls and Lokrum Island as your backdrop. Pebbled shores meet crystal-clear Adriatic waters, and a beach club rents sun loungers and parasols while serving cocktails and food. Free and paid areas allow flexibility on budget. Sipping a cocktail with the walls in view is a quintessential Dubrovnik moment. Beach free (sun loungers about EUR 20). 3-minute walk from Ploce Gate.
Opening Hours
Open 24 hours (beach club: 09:00-01:00, varies by season)
Travel Tips
Arrive in the morning for the best sun lounger spots. The free section is spacious — just bring a towel if you're on a budget.
