Dubrovnik Banje Beach

There aren't many places in the world where you can bask in the sun on a beach and swim in crystal-clear sea water while admiring the view of a medieval town, but Banje Beach in Dubrovnik is one of them.

The Banje Beach is one of the most attractive spots during the summer. The sea is here crystal clear and the beach is made of small pebbles and sand. It offers amazing views of the City walls and Lokrum island.

Visitors can rent sun loungers and parasol but it's fairly expensive (€60 for two sun loungers and umbrella a day). The alternative is to use the section of the beach where you can lay your towel freely (south side of the beach).

🌴  Book a speed boat tour to Mljet and the Elaphiti Islands - perfect way to explore some of the best beaches in the region — think secluded bays, soft sand, and plenty of swim stops along the way!

There is a beach bar/restaurant where you can have a cocktail or some other drink while enjoying on the beach (or even lunch).

In the evening Banje beach turns into a place for exiting night-out. Eastwest Beach Club located on Banje beach attracts visitors who are looking for a great time.

Within walking distance from the beach you will find Villa Dubrovnik, Hotel Excelsior and Grand Villa Argentina as well as numerous apartments.

If you are looking for a beach which is more suitable for children, you should head to Copacabana beach in Babin Kuk.
