10 Exceptional

That place is absolutely stunning and conveniently located just a 30-minute walk from the old town or a quick bus ride away. It's worth noting that the beach is easily accessible, with the bus stopping at Viktorija station. From there, simply turn right down the stairs and continue straight ahead to reach the beach.

10 Exceptional

This spot is easily accessible and only a short 10-minute ride from Dubrovnik. Although you have to climb down a set of stairs, it's definitely worth it once you see the crystal clear and clean water. Additionally, there's a restaurant and bar that even accept credit cards. If you need to rent an umbrella and two sun beds, it will cost you 210 krunas.

The pebble beach is stunningly serene and peaceful, with easy accessibility for visitors. Its natural beauty is a sight to behold, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and rejuvenation.

10 Exceptional

This stunning beach lies to the east of Dubrovnik and is easily accessible by Bus 8 from Pile Gate. Although the journey involves a descent down a steep staircase, the reward is well worth it. The beach is spacious enough to accommodate a large crowd, even during peak hours, and two cocktail bars are located towards the back. If you're looking to rent an umbrella and beach bed, the service is reasonably priced at 70 kuna per unit. We spent a delightful afternoon and early evening here before catching the same bus back to Pile Gate. For those seeking a peaceful beach with a breathtaking view of the fort walls, this is definitely the perfect choice.
