About

Quick facts: Beneath a protected natural stone arch, the sea takes on a turquoise color reminiscent of the Caribbean. From the cliffs above the cove, there is a view of the fishing town and the surrounding hills covered in Mediterranean maquis.

Highlights: The rocks surrounding the cove hide small sea caves that can be reached by swimming. Local fishermen still use this cove in the morning hours, just as they did several decades ago, giving the place an authentic Dalmatian charm.

Insider tips

Bring a snorkeling mask because the underwater world is full of sea urchins and colorful fish.
The best view of the entire cove is from the road leading to the lookout point above; do not stay only on the beach.
At the restaurant 'Al Chiosco' at the top, get fresh fish and lemonade before or after swimming.
Avoid weekends in July and August when the cove fills up with local residents.
