CAVTAT BEACH

All of the swimming options in Cavtat itself are pebble beaches or from the rocks. One of the islands nearby has a sandy beach. More attractive are the occasional bathing platforms and shack-like cafés that are dotted round the water’s edge of the peninsula itself.

ABOUT CAVTAT BEACHES

All of the swimming options in Cavtat itself are pebble beaches or from the rocks. One of the islands nearby has a sandy beach.

More attractive are the occasional bathing platforms and shack-like cafés that are dotted round the water’s edge of the peninsula itself. Right by the shoreline, though easily missed amid the greenery, the Rokatin café is a little gem – look for an ancient rowing boat draped with fishing nets and suspended between pine trees, and a wooden sign offering sun-beds for hire.

Once settled with some local ham and cheese (both from Pag Island) and a carafe of Dingac wine, you’ll find it difficult to tear yourself away.

Cavtat is a 20-min drive from Ivanica.

Pass through the Croatian border, left at the mini roundabout and continue down the mountain to the T-junction. Turn left towards the airport. Before the airport you will see a right-hand turn, signposted Cavtat. Follow this road round, bearing left all the way to the car park in the centre of the village.

Parking charge is payable at the machine on departure.
