Prozurska Luka Beach Prožurska Luka 48, Maranovići
Beach character
The beach's straight shoreline contrasts with the undulating mountain ranges visible in the distance. Its concrete surface, while unconventional, provides a stable base for sunbathing and relaxation. The sea floor's concrete composition suggests a history of coastal engineering, possibly related to maritime infrastructure. Depth increases gradually, making it a moderate swimming spot. The beach's orientation and natural features create a sheltered cove effect, though visitor reviews note occasional disturbances from nearby boat activity.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally favorable, with warm waters and a shallow gradient. The concrete seabed may feel less natural than sandy alternatives but offers a firm surface for wading. The beach's alignment with the mainland creates a natural amphitheater effect, though this is occasionally interrupted by the presence of parked yachts and motorboats. The shoreline's concrete texture contrasts with the softness of nearby mountain slopes, creating a striking visual juxtaposition.Facilities and activities
The beach is served by Konoba Marijina, a restaurant situated directly on the shore. This establishment offers dining options and is a focal point for visitors. Water entertainment activities are available, though specific details are not outlined in the catalog. The absence of public toilets or showers means visitors should plan accordingly. The restaurant's proximity makes it a practical hub for meals and refreshments.Access and location
The beach is accessible via a public parking area located at the end of a road leading to Prožurska Luka. A narrow, concrete-paved path connects the parking to the water's edge. Visitors should follow directional signs toward the restaurant and beach. The route includes a short walk down a concrete path, with the restaurant situated at the shoreline. The beach's location within Maranovići places it near the broader Pelješac Peninsula, offering connections to nearby coastal settlements.What visitors say
Visitors report a mixed experience. Positive feedback highlights the beach's peaceful atmosphere, scenic views of uninhabited islands, and the quality of food at Konoba Marijina. One reviewer noted the beach's 'paradise spot' character and 'stunning views.' However, others mention challenges: the presence of numerous boats and yachts that obstruct views, and the restaurant's loud music playing continuously. A 2019 review emphasized the need to book restaurant tables in advance due to high demand. Cleanliness is generally rated as good, though the lack of public facilities requires visitor preparation.Practical tips
Book a table at Konoba Marijina in advance, especially during peak seasons. Be prepared for potential noise from the restaurant's music. Parking is available at the road's end, with a short walk to the beach. The absence of public toilets means bringing personal supplies is advisable.Exploring the coast by yacht
Prozurska Luka's location on the Pelješac Peninsula places it within a popular sailing region of the Adriatic. Nearby anchorages and marinas, accessible via Euro-Agent's POI maps, cater to yacht charter guests exploring the area.

For those chartering a yacht, the surrounding waters offer opportunities to explore nearby islands and coastal settlements.Regional Context

Reviews
Nice clean and warm water. The only thing is there are many boats and yachts parked there daily so they obscure the view. And sometimes the local bar plays loud music as if you are in the club from morning till night every day and that is really annoying.
Peaceful place for swimming and enjoying seafood in one of the restaurants.
Nice local beach, great for a refreshing swim.
Perfect place : delicious food, paradise spot, great view and really nice people
The most beautiful beach I have visited in Mljet - The views are no less than stunning. The beach stretch is not accessible by car so you should park your car at the public parking (free of charge) which is located just at the end of the road leading to Požurska Luka where there's a sign pointing to the restaurant and the beach. You will need to walk down the narrow road until you reach the water line which is paved with concrete. If you turn to the right towards the Marijina restaurant (Konoba Marijina) you will reach row of small concrete peirs with a perfect view to the beautiful bay overlooking two small uninhabited islands that you can reach by swimming. There are no public toilets or any other facilities on this beach so you should come prepared but the restaurant sits right on the beach. If you plan to dine in Konoba Marijina it is best to book a table since it tends to be very busy. Dubrovnik-Neretva
