Reviews
Amitoj Duggal
A good option to swim very close to Korcula city center, close to the bus station. We passed by the beach but didn't swim there, as we went to Lombarda. It seemed like other beaches in Croatia with pebbles and also had some trees which could provide shade. It never seemed too crowded, though it cannot accommodate many people. If you are planning to go there, please go with the rubber shoes for swimming. Dubrovnik-Neretva
