For storytellers

Why Banje Beach matters

Swimming with a medieval town as your backdrop is the main selling point here. Banje is pebbly and can be crowded, but it is only a few minutes from the Ploce Gate. Have a swim, then go back for a coffee in town. For something quieter try a morning visit.

Talking points

  • It lies right outside the Ploce Gate.
  • The beach looks directly to Lokrum island.
  • Mornings are calmer.
