The most beautiful beaches in Dubrovnik

So, besides the pool water of your Dubrovnik villa, you want to feel the sand or pebbles between your toes? If you are not staying in a beachfront villa, let us suggest the best beaches in Dubrovnik:

Banja

Definitely, one of the most popular Croatian beaches. On most of Dubrovnik's film footpaths and postcards, you will find the beach that attracts locals and numerous tourists. It's a beach that overlooks the old Dubrovnik walls and luxurious Dubrovnik villas.

Sv. Jakov

This popular beach offers unbeatable views of the island of Lokrum and the Old Town of Dubrovnik. It is about a kilometer and a half away from the Old Town and the strict center of Dubrovnik, so if you decide to leave the villa where you have been staying, prepare for a long trip through the narrow alley that makes it very difficult to mimic the cars. Our advice is to go on a bike or moped for this time. This beautiful beach is located under the church of St. Jacob from where you have to climb down 160 steps to reach it. For this reason, we don't advise this marathon for those who aren't used to intense fitness activity.

Beach Banje Dubrovnik
