Sunj Beach on Lopud Island

Sunj beach is a beautiful beach, tucked away in a quiet cove of Lopud island.

It is a sandy beach (which is rare in Dubrovnik) with pristine clear water. This beach is great for everyone, with a gentle incline before reaching deeper water.

There are plenty of facilities to make your stay more comfortable, such as sun loungers and parasols, showers, toilets and changing rooms.

There is also space for those who prefer to relax free-of-charge on the sand but beware this beach can get busy in high season. There are bars and cafés serving a range of drinks and food.

The beautiful sandy Sunj beach is located in a deep bay on the southern coast of Lopud
