Lucina - all beaches

The beach was absolutely lovely, with plenty of water attractions that kept the kids entertained for hours. What really sets this beach apart from the others we visited on Pelješac is the soft, sandy floor that makes walking and playing in the water a real pleasure. However, it must be said that the beach was quite crowded when we visited, which may not be to everyone's taste.

This beach is stunning, though unfortunately littered with plastic bottles and other trash.

Located in a quaint fishing village, this public beach is a hidden gem. However, finding parking can be a challenge as most spaces are reserved for private use. While there are no shops or restrooms on site, the smell of fresh mussels permeates the air. Early morning visitors can purchase mussels and oysters, which make for a delicious dinner when cooked with onions, garlic, olive oil, and white wine. In fact, we were able to buy 5kg of mussels for only HK50 and enjoyed a truly delightful meal.

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.

The beach is quite small and can be accessed via a steep staircase. The shoreline is covered in large pebbles, and unfortunately, there is no parking available in close proximity. Additionally, there was a noticeable sea breeze, and the water had a greenish tint due to algae. Moreover, there was an odd and unpleasant smell in the air. Overall, swimming at this beach is not particularly enjoyable.
