The name Saplunara comes from the Latin word, sabalum, that means sand. There are two sand beaches, a larger and smaller one, on the kilometre-long cove. As the largest remaining coastal sand habitat in Croatia, Saplunara hosts several plant species that exist nowhere else in Croatia. As such, it is considered a "protected area" with signs begging you not to litter or camp. A forest of Aleppo pines and junipers stretches from the sandy shore inland where there is a small settlement with a few dozen inhabitants. There are no hotels or restaurants but there is a sprinkling of private accommodation. There are no ferries to Saplunara. To get there, take a ferry to Sobra. Buses sometimes meet the ferry; otherwise take a taxi. (see more about getting to Mljet Island)Saplunara is only 16km from Sobra. The two-lane road is extraordinarily scenic but not particularly well-maintained. Related Pages
