Reviews
Far enough from the village to be nice, clean and quiet in the morning. Clear water, no sand
Probbably the this is the best beach near Loviste. You can trespass via private property but you are not supposed to camp there. The beach is clean and usually not very crowded. It takes 20 minutesto teach it from the center of Loviste. Nice rocky coast and vivid sea where you can spot some fish and sea grass.
Great beach, not crowded with nice, transparent water. The only one disadvantage is that it's not easy to get there Dubrovnik-Neretva
