Croatia’s Bacvice beach

If you love to swim, sun, and have fun – you can’t beat the action-packed scene at Bacvice beach [Bregovita ul. 11, 21000, Split, Croatia] in Split. Bacvice definitely isn’t a quiet secluded beach. It’s walking distance from downtown Split, so crowds are to be expected. We skipped the packed sand beach and opted for renting a lounge chair on the pavement which is a bit more dispersed.

The beauty of the sparkling blue water and faded layers of mountains in the distance beckon you to jump on in.

There are ladders to climb into the warm calm water. The floor of the ocean is mostly rocky so it is best to enter with water shoes. The Adriatic Sea is clear and shallow at this beach, perfect swimming, cooling down, or playing Picigin – a traditional Croatian ball game that originated on this very beach!
