Beach character
Pebble Beach stretches in a straight line for 800 meters, with a width of 30 meters. The predominant surface consists of white pebbles, which cover most of the beach. The seabed is similarly composed of medium-sized pebbles, though the depth increases gradually and smoothly—a feature highlighted by visitors as particularly family-friendly. Natural shade is available along parts of the shore, providing relief from the sun. While the pebble terrain may not appeal to all, it offers a stable surface for activities like walking and sunbathing, and the sea’s clarity is frequently praised in reviews.Swimming and shore
The beach’s smooth depth increase makes it a safe option for swimmers of all ages, particularly children and those who cannot swim. The seabed’s pebbles are described as firm but not harsh, though visitors are advised to wear water shoes for comfort. The water is noted for its clarity in reviews, with one visitor calling it 'the clearest water ever.' The shoreline’s gradient allows for easy entry into the sea, and the absence of strong currents contributes to its appeal for leisure swimmers.Facilities and activities
Pebble Beach does not have structured amenities such as showers, toilets, or umbrellas. However, it supports a range of water-based activities, including kayaking, surfing, snorkeling, jetskiing, and general water entertainment. These options cater to both casual visitors and more active travelers. The beach’s proximity to Peroj and its integration into the surrounding coastal landscape make it a natural starting point for exploring nearby sailing routes and maritime attractions.Access and location
Located in Peroj, a coastal village in Croatia’s Split-Dalmatia region, Pebble Beach is part of a coastline characterized by rugged cliffs and sheltered coves. The area is accessible via road networks connecting to larger towns like Split and Dubrovnik, and its position along the Adriatic Sea places it within reach of several sailing routes. While the beach itself does not have direct marina access, the broader region is known for its yacht charter opportunities, with nearby anchorages and ports supporting both motor and sailboat operations.What visitors say
Reviewers consistently highlight Pebble Beach’s unique character. Robert Foster noted, 'I really don't like beaches that aren't fine sand but this it nice,' while Anita Frank praised it as 'perfect for kids.' Thorsten Heilmann described the view as 'nice,' and Julia Khokhlova emphasized the water’s clarity and the beach’s relative seclusion compared to busier spots like Omis. One recurring theme is the beach’s suitability for families, with multiple reviewers mentioning the gentle depth increase and the ease of navigating the pebble surface with proper footwear. The beach is also noted for its cleanliness, with a 'good' index rating, and its appeal to pet owners, who are directed to designated areas via information signs.Practical tips
Wear water shoes or sandals with good grip to navigate the pebble surface comfortably. Consider the fisherman fest, which occurs roughly once a week, as an opportunity to experience local culture and cuisine. Arrive early in the day to avoid the busiest hours, especially during peak season when the beach is described as 'busy.'Exploring the coast by yacht
Pebble Beach’s location in the Split-Dalmatia region positions it within a sailing area rich in coastal landmarks and maritime traditions. The Adriatic Sea’s calm waters and proximity to islands like Brač and Hvar make it a logical stop for yacht charter guests exploring the Dalmatian coast. While the beach itself is not a marina or anchorage, nearby ports and harbors support yacht operations, and the Euro-Agent Yacht Search page can help identify suitable bases for exploring this region.Local Culture and Seasonal Events
Visitors may encounter the 'fisherman fest,' a weekly event celebrating local seafood and folk music. This gathering, noted by reviewer Julia Khokhlova, offers an immersive experience of traditional Dalmatian cuisine and hospitality. The event’s timing varies but typically occurs during the summer months, aligning with peak tourism season.Frequently asked questions

The clearest water ever. And so warm you will never want to come back to the shore... Amazingly, pebbles turned out to be better than sand and pebbles mixed together. If you wear special booties, you will be more than fine. There are not many people like in Omis, and you can relax and enjoy the sea. The sea itself is not too deep for a few metres, abd that is absolutely enough for kids to have fun. Once a week or so you can be lucky to enjoy the fisherman fest, and get a taste of delicious fish, other national meals, together with folk music and most friendly people ever... Split-Dalmatia
