Sveti Jakov Beach

Nestled between forested promontories and below a historic church, Sveti Jakov Beach is a tawny half moon of pebbles and fine shingle. Despite its small size, the beach is often regarded as Dubrovnik’s most attractive by locals. The descent to the shore involves navigating about 150 stairs, but the effort is rewarded with stunning views across to Lokrum Island. Visitors can enjoy the serene setting and the natural beauty that makes this spot a favorite among both residents and travelers.
