Maybe not the quietest beaches in the area, but there are beaches for families and for those that like to chill with friends!
Banje Beach is the closest beach to the old town, located just outside the Ploče Gate.
Half of this beach is private (there is a charge for sun beds and umbrellas), in the other half, you are welcome to put down your towel, if you can fi nd a space! It is known for being pebbly, expensive, noisy and crowded but a place where the young like to meet and dance into the night.
Lapad is one of the most beautiful parts of Dubrovnik. There are several beaches and bays in Lapad, offering something for everyone.
They can be accessed by car, bus and boat and walkers promenading the extensive coastline. The beaches deeper to the bay are more popular whilst those on the outskirts of the bay tend to be less crowded and more intimate.
A fair amount of coffee bars, pastry and confectionery shops, and ice cream vendors have found their place on the lovely Lapad promenade, with their terraces luring walkers to sit and simply enjoy the view.
The beaches in the Lapad bay are mostly a mixture of pebble area, rock area, and artificial concrete parts. Worth visiting for the very clear and clean waters!
Many of the Dubrovnik hotels are located close to the promenade and nearby beaches making the whole area quite lively and with a touristic atmosphere.

The club has a chilled and modern atmosphere. The location is amongst stunning scenery and the water is crystal clear and without Sea Urchins. A great place to watch the sunset with a DJ playing.
Kayaks and paddle boards are reasonably priced for rental.
That said, Coral and Copacabana Beach Club have very mixed reviews. Mostly guests complain of poor service, food and drinks being overpriced and a ‘double sun bed’ costs around £40 and £30 for a single.

Located just 1 mile from the old town is one of the most beautiful beaches in Dubrovnik.
You could walk from the old town or take a no 5 or 8 bus and get off at the last stop. For those of driving there is a carpark but space is limited.
Around the corner of St Jakov’s church is a staircase to descend down to the beach. Be warned there about 160 steps to the beach which means they still 160 steps to come back up!
It’s a lovely popular pebble Beach with a beach bar and restaurant but what makes it special are the distant views to the old town plus it overlooks Lokrum island.
A great place to watch the sunset!
