Beach character
Plaza Kamena's defining feature is its pebble-covered shore, measuring 20 meters wide and extending for 640 meters. The beach is flanked by low-lying mountains that provide natural shade, a rare feature on the sun-drenched Dalmatian coast. The sea floor consists of small pebbles, with water depth increasing gradually from the shore. This moderate depth profile makes it accessible for swimmers while maintaining a connection to the rugged coastal terrain typical of the region.Swimming and shore
The beach's pebble composition creates a textured shoreline that may require comfortable footwear for walking. Swimmers will find the sea floor gradually transitions from shallow to deeper waters, with moderate depth increase. While the pebbles may feel firm underfoot, the beach's position in a sheltered cove helps maintain relatively calm conditions, though wave action can intensify during stronger winds.Facilities and activities
The beach itself does not have dedicated facilities like showers or restrooms. However, the surrounding area includes cafes, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. Visitor reports mention ice-cream vendors and a woman selling dresses near the beach, suggesting informal retail options. The beach's proximity to Tučepi's village center means additional amenities are available in the settlement itself.Access and location
Plaza Kamena is situated in Tučepi (Kamena 68), a village on the island of Brač.

Nice beach in Tučepi. The last time I was here was 9 years ago and a lot has changed here. There were more water attractions, restaurants and fewer people.
