What is Lopud Bay known for?
Lopud has multiple beaches stretching along Lopud Bay, with the first one located next to the island's small harbor. Despite its proximity, this sand beach is clean and popular. Surrounded by cafe bars, restaurants, pizzerias, and small shops, many visitors decide to spend their day exactly here as it doesn't require a long walk to the ferry pier.
The beach offers a volleyball court, deck chairs, parasols, and equipment for rent, such as pedal boats and kayaks. Just behind the beach is the patisseries Palma, their ice cream is a must-try!
The other sand beach is in front of the remains of the Grand Hotel on Lopud. Also popular because of the hotel's park, which provides plenty of shade and spots to relax and enjoy your day. The beach is located in the middle of Lopud Bay, stretching along the hotel's beautiful park.
Restaurants and bars can be found in the vicinity, but the tradition among locals is to enjoy a picnic under one of the high palm trees. Don't be surprised if you smell roasted chicken and fresh paprika on a hot Sunday afternoon.
