Split beaches – all the beaches in Split

Beaches in Split are very clean. Once you arrive in Split, an you are on the “Riva” (city center), you might think in front of you is some beach, but that’s in fact the city harbour which is quite big with arriving ferries and cruise ships, so no swimming there.

Going west (from the center):

Zvončac – also called Jadran, is a concrete beach with a coffee shop well equipped with sunbeds and parasols. Here you can relax with a coffee or a cocktail. Behind the beach there is a park also called Zvončac. This beach is about 10 min walk from the center.

Going south:

Bačvice – is the nearest beach from city center (about 15 min walk). This beach is the most popular among tourists as well as locals.

This is a beach with fine sand but no sea urchin. There is a beach bar above the beach. This beach has a blue flag which means it’s one of the cleanest beaches.
