Probably one of the most popular beaches in Split. Bačvice has been a favourite spot for many people to take their children for their first swim. The beach even receiving a song called “Idemo na Bačvice” (“We’re going to Bačvice”) which most locals only know one verse of. Bačvice being a large sandy beach that’s quite shallow; having to walk a decent bit into the water just to get it to chest height.

One of many beaches surrounding the beautiful Marjan forest hill. The beach being a half sandy/pebble; along with having a rather good diving spot for those that love doing impressive or fun jumps into the water below. Bene also has a cafe close by; allowing you to enjoy a drink whilst being protected by the large trees from direct sunlight.

We planned on not including this one as with recent changes; it might not be available for swimming. Žnjan was one of the most popular and densest beaches in Split; following closely behind Bačvice because of it’s sheer size. There was also a plethora of bars, restaurants and cafe’s right on the beach; but due to some…’trouble’ in terms of licenses they were all mostly removed.
