Croatia is famous for its many gorgeous beaches and most people will say that the best of them are to be found in central and south Dalmatia. Many of the beaches found on Croatia's islands and coastline are rock or pebble. If you are looking for a sandy beach, however, you will not come away disappointed. Here are just some of the many fine beaches you will have to choose from in this region:

Of the many fine beaches on the island of Hvar, perhaps one of the best is the large, 800m long Mlaska Beach south of the small town of Sucuraj. The beach is very popular with families and yet clothing here is also very much optional. This beach is close to the accommodation and facilities of the Mlaska auto camp.
Vis

On the remote and rugged island of Vis, one of the best sandy beaches is the beach called Stoncica, near Vis town. Another lovely sandy beach on this island can be found by Milna. Porat beach on nearby Bisevo, which is also home to the Blue grotto, is one of the most stunning sandy beaches in the country.
Korcula

On Korcula, head for Vela Przina beach near the town of Lumbarda. The bay is very pretty and sheltered from northern winds. You have some lovely views from here of the island of Lastovo. Though be warned – this beach is very popular with tourists and can become very busy during the peak summer months

Bacvice beach, in the ancient city of Split, is lovely for families with children and is perfect for paddling, though again, it can become very busy during July and August in particular and it could be one of the busiest beaches in Croatia. Come here to see locals playing the strange ball game, Picgin.

Down the coast from Split you will come to the Omis Riviera, which can also become rather busy though less so than the beaches right beside the cities. The best and largest sandy beaches along this coast are found between Omis and Dugi Rat. There is a 4km stretch of sandy beach in front of the town of Duce and if you like a bustling beach with plenty to see and do then the popular stretch of around 1km at Omis could be perfect for you, with its restaurants, cafés, bars and shops.

Around 80km north of Dubrovnik is the Peljesac Peninsula. One of the favourite beaches of this region is the Trstenica Beach in Orebic. The breathtaking views out over the Korcula archipelago make this beach worth braving the crowds to see.

Further south, there is the pretty, tree-lined beach of Uvala Lapad – the largest beach of the ancient city of Dubrovnik. There are plenty of facilities here and as you would expect from its proximity to the city, it can be very busy at times.

To get away from the worst of the crowds that you will find on many of the beaches of south and central Dalmatia, head to the magical island of Mljet. There are a number of lovely, largely untouched beaches on this island, one of which is the stunning, isolated cove of Saplunara.
