By this point in our trip, we had learned that 'beach' in Croatia doesn't mean 'sand', so we were prepared. As Croatian beaches go, this is a decent one. What makes it nice is that is had an amazing view of the Old City Port. You can watch the ships in the harbor, the cruise ships coming in... This was... More

Banje Beach is a nice little beach adjacent to the old city of Dubrovnik. It can however get a bit crowded, but aside from that it is a great place to enjoy the clear waters. Be sure to check out the kayak, snorkeling and parasailing tours that are available.

The water in croatia is crystal clear perfect for snorkelling. Watch out for sea urchins!!! Was amazed by the amount of sealife underwater I could see just snorkelling off the coast.

Banje Beach is a pretty nice little beach for Croatia, especially considering how close it is to the city. The problem is that it seems to be controlled by the 'East-West Beach Club'. If I was reviewing the beach, I would give it a 4/5, but there isn't anywhere else to review this 'Beach Club', so it has to go... More

It's a real pity that Dubrovnik doesn't have a large spacious beach in the city centre. Banje beach pretends to be one but in fact is more of a beach club than the beach itself. Too overcrowded, too dirty, too commercial and finally too expensive! Avoid at all costs, it's better to invest some time to get to Lapad or... More

Check this spot out on your tour of Dubrovnik. Great beach with lots of action and adventure for people of all ages. Chairs and umbrellas are available for rent. The Beach club is there as well for late night action. All in all, one of the better beaches in Croatia.

Beautiful location, the Old Town and the island of Locrum view. Great DJ and music from the beach bar. Drinks rather expensive, but good cocktails. If you rent a sunbed, you will feel like in a tuna can. Hope that you get one in the first row next to the sea, otherwise you will not be able to swim in... More

Partly grit and sand this beach was easily accesible to the sea unlike most of the others nearby which were accessed from rocks. Sunbeds and umbrellas could be hired from the East- west club which runs the beach, and there is also a bar and restaurant. Very popular and busy accessed down steps from the road. Water shoes advisable to... More

Good - beautiful sea, easy to get to, great people watching, fantastic view of the old town. Got there early on a day when there was a tiny bit of cloud so managed to get a lounger in prime position. Presume on days (so most days) where it is clear from the get go that you would need to get... More

Just a short walk from the old town and close to the Konsum if you want drinks or snacks but there is service from the bar. Lots of umbrellas and sun loungers at no charge.
