Split Beaches  

Bacvice Beach--on a hot summer Sunday


Bene Beach

The most convenient, busiest, youngest and sandiest beach is Bacvice Beach right in front of the Bacvice restaurant-nightlife complex (see nightlife in Split). Wide with shallow waters, this beach fills up fast on hot days even though it's not particularly scenic. You can shower off on the beach and down a cold beer in one of the beachside cafes. And there's accommodation in Bacvice.

Is it clean? Surprisingly clean considering its proximity to such a big city. In 2006 Bacvice Beach was awarded a Blue Flag for the cleanliness of the water and the beach facilities.

A calmer, prettier scene lies on the Kasjuni beach. It's a bit of a walk from the town centre as it's at the foot of Marjan hill, past the Mestrovic gallery. (You can also take a bus) Narrow and rocky, this strip of coast is bordered by a pine forest and the waters are as cool and blue as you'll ever see.

Further on is tranquil Bene beach, also bordered by pine groves and with a family atmosphere. There are tennis courts, pony rides and a playground plus picnic facilities and a cafe- bar-restaurant. Take the No. 12 bus to the last stop (see Getting Around Split).

True beach aficionados will want to head out of town to the coves of Brela, striking Zlatni Rat beach on Brac Island, or the island of Solta, just offshore.
