Plaza Lucica II Beach, Croatia
Beach character
The beach's defining characteristic is its pebble-covered shore, which contrasts with the smooth, sandy beaches typical of the region. The sea floor extends gradually from the shore, with depths increasing at a moderate rate. This profile makes it suitable for swimmers who prefer a firmer surface underfoot. The beach's straight shoreline offers unobstructed views of the open sea, though its relatively narrow width (10 meters at its widest point) means it can feel crowded during peak hours.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions at Plaza Lucica II are generally favorable, with the moderate depth increase allowing for safe wading. The pebble-covered shore provides a stable base for entering and exiting the water, though the surface may be less comfortable for barefoot swimmers. The beach's orientation and surrounding geography contribute to consistent wave patterns, making it a predictable choice for those seeking a straightforward swimming experience.Facilities and activities
While the beach itself lacks structured amenities, visitor reports highlight the presence of a nearby restaurant that serves grilled seafood, particularly noted for its squid dishes. The establishment, mentioned in multiple reviews, offers a terrace with panoramic views of the beach and sea. No other facilities such as showers, toilets, or parking are explicitly documented in the beach's authoritative features.Access and location
Plaza Lucica II is situated in Zaostrog, a town on the island of Brač, part of the Split-Dalmatia region. Its location places it within reach of several cultural and historical sites on Brač, including the island's famous Stonca Beach and the town of Supetar. The beach's proximity to the open sea makes it a potential starting point for coastal exploration, though specific anchorage or marina details are not included in the beach's documentation.What visitors say
Visitors have consistently praised the dining options available near the beach. Xavier Smith noted the 'fantastic' grilled squid and 'incredible' atmosphere, while Lorena Valtic highlighted the 'delightful seafood dinner' and 'beautiful romantic memories' created on the terrace. Both reviewers emphasized the restaurant's scenic views, though Xavier Smith mentioned the meal's 'pepper seasoning' was overpowering. The restaurant's pricing, with an 85 EUR meal for multiple courses, was noted as a potential consideration for budget-conscious visitors.Practical tips
Given the beach's 'busy' high-season designation, visitors may want to arrive early to secure a spot on the shore. The restaurant's reputation as a local favorite suggests it may have limited capacity during peak hours. While the beach lacks formal amenities, the nearby dining options provide a convenient complement to a day at the shore.Exploring the coast by yacht

Reviews
The food was decent, although it had a bit too much pepper seasoning for my liking. Their specialty lies in grilled seafood, and the squid was absolutely fantastic. The service was average, but the atmosphere was truly incredible. We paid 85 EUR for a bottle of wine, an appetizer, two main courses (fish), and a mineral water. Mila Rizen Beach Practitioner • October 2023 10 Exceptional It's one of my preferred seafood restaurants! It can be a little expensive, but I would definitely recommend it. The terrace is absolutely stunning too.
I had the most delightful seafood dinner ever! Moreover, the beach view was absolutely fantastic, allowing me to create beautiful romantic memories. I highly recommend it! Split-Dalmatia
