Lovorje - all beaches

The village nestled in the mountains can get quite crowded, but the view is absolutely stunning. Finding a parking spot can be a bit of a challenge, but if you're into cliff jumping, the harbor has a pier that's a few meters high and deep enough to jump from. Don't miss the opportunity to visit Mljet island while you're here, just stop by the harbor for information.

This beach is perfect for couples with children. It strikes a good balance between being not too crowded and not too large, and you can enjoy the soothing sound of crickets in the background. The beach is partially shaded by old pine trees that lean over it, providing ample shade. The pebbles on the beach are of medium to small size, occasionally slightly pointy but not excessively so. When entering the sea, it is clean and you may encounter sea grass in the deeper areas, but don't worry, you can easily swim over it if you're squeamish. The sea itself is a beautiful turquoise color with patches of dark blue, which is typical of the Adriatic Sea. As for parking, it can be a bit challenging at times, so it's advisable to have good car maneuvering skills. Since there isn't a lot of parking available, it's best to plan to arrive early in the day.

This beach was perfect - it was quiet, clean, and easy to find on Google Maps.

The beach has a serene atmosphere and is a perfect spot for relaxation. Additionally, it is worth noting that the beach is covered with gray pebbles.

This beach is a great option for spending the entire day. The bar and restaurant offer good quality at reasonable prices. It used to be a natural beach a few years ago, but now it has been properly developed for commercial purposes. Parking is free and there is ample space for those who prefer not to rent sunbeds and parasols. The food is delicious and the portions are generous. It's worth mentioning that they have a local wine selection, which is commendable. When you're by the sea, it's important to try wines from the south rather than from the continent because the south of Croatia is an underrated wine region with some of the best autochthonous grape varieties in the world, which have spread from America to Australia. Additionally, there is a small aqua park available for a fee of 7 euros for the entire day. The sea is clean and you can see all the way to the bottom. I highly recommend this beach, especially if you're looking for a stretch along the coast between Gradac and Dubrovnik. Of course, we should exclude those two places and the Pelješac peninsula.

This is the best black risotto I've ever had, and I've had many because it's my favorite. The service in English was also great - the girl even offered a water bowl for our doggie without me having to ask. The menu has a wide variety of items, all of which are actually available and cooked by a professional chef. I'm not sure how they manage to strike the perfect balance between homemade food and restaurant quality, but they do. The location is excellent, right near the Pelešac Bridge with a beautiful view of the seafront. Needless to say, we'll be coming back to the Bridge every evening for dinner and desserts. By the way, you should definitely try their raspberry panna cotta - it's one of their specialties, and my husband says it's the best he's had in years.
