Lovely little beach, even if busy at times - a short walk from the Old Town and looking out over Lokrum. White pebbles with crystal clear sea and all the facilities you could want, if you want them. We didn’t hire anything and just used our towels. I imagine it can be heaving in the summer but my only complaint (hence the average rating) is the poor attitude of the staff (most of them it seemed?!) in the bar and restaurant area. We only visited briefly during the peak heat, to enjoy a cold beer or Coke, but the service was always slow and indifferent. At times I could swear waiters were purposely looking every except where customers were waiting to be served. Sometimes you could get the attention of someone and despite them having nothing to do they would go off and find someone else, only for the eventual order to take a long time to arrive too. There are worse things to deal with in life but not ideal when on holiday and paying Dubrovnik prices.

Lovely small beach close to the old town, the water was clear and beautiful, all the family enjoyed swimming and playing in the water and we visited several times during our week stay as it was opposite our accommodation. The beach bar was lovely, we didn't eat there but food looked good and was priced similarly to other bars in the city. We had drinks several times and the service and facilities were great. The beach does get busy and isn't huge but we always managed to find a spot to sit, take your beach shoes because it's pebbley. There is a bakery and supermarket for drinks and snacks to take on the beach just before you get to the entrance. Paddle board hire and sunlounger hire is the most expensive I've ever known on holiday, €20 per hour for paddle boards and sunlongers are €25 for single and €70 for double for the day.

Visited Banje Beach mid week in early June. A typical pebble beach which seems common in Dubrovnik. Despite the previous reviews, the staff were friendly and polite. Sunbeds are expensive but that appears to be the case in this area at €25 per bed and a parasol was €8 so slightly cheaper than St Jacob. The beds however are quite uncomfortable (cheap thin cushions). Drinks are expensive but they have a captive audience. The beach got very busy with most people lying on the stones as the beds are expensive. This beach is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to the steep steps to get to it. All in all an ok beach but I guess Dubrovnik is not known for its beaches.

Lovely beach, very steep stairs to get to the beach. Half sand half stones, nice lounger and parasol, very expensive €25 per. Drinks and food is affordable and people are nice. The water is lovely and clear a short ride away from the fortress. Lovely place

My husband and I (34 yrs old) spent less than 2 hours here while we were waiting for a ferry to Hvar. A lot of the reviews complained about the price, and it was $80 for a 2 person covered sunbed- which is not worth it for the amount of time we were there, but if you're staying the whole day I think it's well worth it. It was a good atmosphere. A lot of reviews also complained about the service being slow- which it is, but that's not a Banje Beach thing, or even a Croatia thing, that's ALL of Europe. Service is just slower and less attentive in Europe than it is in the US and you just need to know that and be prepared for it. Since we were waiting for a ferry, we stored our luggage at a Bounce location a 5 min walk from the beach club instead of dragging our luggage down the stairs to the beach club. I'll also mention that the traffic by the cable car and Pile gate is really really bad, so it took like 25 mins for our uber to arrive to take us to the ferry, even though it said it was only 4 mins away.

Close to the old city, this is a convenient and safe access to swimming in the sea. When we visited, mid afternoon on two warm June days, it was absolutely heaving, with little space to sit. You can hire deck chairs or there is a pleasant restaurant on the beach. There are a couple of changing cubicles, good toilets, and a shower. But be warned - you need 50c pieces for your 30 secs under the shower. No one was able to give us any change - not at the restaurant or the watersports stall. Also take beach shoes - this beach is very stony!

I can say that it is the only beach in the city center that can be walked to, it is only 5 minutes walk from Oldtown. The beach and sea are small pebbles, I recommend shoes or slippers. Since there are 70 steps down to the beach, it is not suitable for the elderly or disabled. There are paid and free sections, sun loungers are 25 €, umbrellas are 8 €. You can use your own umbrella and towel in the free section. We as a family liked it.

Supposedly a higher end Beach Club within a 10 min walk from Old town but it was not what I was hoping for. Service is non existent except for the waiter that we had at lunch in the actual restaurant. Pretty expensive for a beach club in Durbovnik ($60 for 2 Sunbeds with an umbrella). Even early at 10 am, the beach cabanas were all taken. The guy at the front basically ignored us (until I was in his face) and he failed to put up our umbrella. Had to do it ourselves. It is a pebbly beach and it can get real hot in the summer without shoes. The water is crystal clear and warm in July. While Croatia is supposed to have some of the cleanest beaches in the world, I learned only after the fact that all the waste from the old town empties into Banje beach. I would try to find another beach a little further from old town in order to avoid all this. Not to mention, you can sometimes smell the sewage in the air around old town.

We stayed here in August 2024, we spent €60 for two sunbeds and a parasol (but prices reach up to €100) and we even had to assemble the umbrella ourselves! The beds, moreover, are too close together so it is impossible to turn them. The shower is for a fee (!!!!), cold and very short duration! The location has nothing nice, you are not tempted to drink or come specially in the afternoon (we preferred to have an aperitif elsewhere in fact ..!). Drinks and food prices are high (small water at €5.50!!). The sea is not as clear as in other areas, favored by the excessive number of swimmers, both belonging to the lido and the neighboring free beach and tends to get dirty easily because nearby there is a pier where boats leave continuously for tourists and not! Not Recommendation. Ps the beach is invaded by pigeons

The beach was overcrowded and not overly clean. We paid €60 for two beds and an umbrella, the couples sitting beside us told us that they had paid more but had only arrived 30 minutes prior to us. There is a menu for drinks and food to order from the bar at the beach, we ordered our daughter a portion of fries that cost €4.50 - and it was an extremely large portion. It is important to know that this is a stone beach and water shoes are recommended, especially for young children. Our daughter wanted to wear her crocs, but they kept filling up with stones even in the water. We did bring a floaty for our daughter, but this did not appear to be rather common. There is a shower at the beach for cleaning the sand off you but it is 50 Cent for 30 seconds of water. There are changing rooms available also free of charge.
