Plaža Sveti Jakov

This beach is absolutely stunning, probably one of the best in Dubrovnik! It's about a 20-30 minute walk from the city, which was a little hot, but totally worth it. You can also drive or take a boat there. The beach has everything – you can rent chairs for about €7 each, or just use your own towel. There are restaurants for drinks and food, and it's a very family-friendly and calm atmosphere, a nice break from the city crowds. It was a bit crowded, but still one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever been to!

"This little gem is an absolute must-visit near the Old Town. The journey down the steps is totally worth it for the crystal-clear water and incredible views of the city walls and Lokrum island. We went around 1 pm and it wasn't too crowded, though it got busier later. It's definitely less hectic than Banje Beach, and the sunset was truly magical.

Beautiful beach with a lovely view of old town particularly in the early afternoon sun. The beach is mostly pebbles so worth bringing your own mat if you don't want to pay for sun loungers. Can rent umbrellas for €15 per day. Definitely worth all the steps to get down to the beach!

An absolute hidden gem next to some of Dubrovnik’s bigger beaches but this was by far, the best! It’s quite steep to get to with a 5 minute walk down various stairs from the top of old town but well worth it. Lovely azure water, sunbeds that you can rent for €25 each (all come with umbrellas), a bar and restaurant and good music beach played throughout. It looks crowded but plenty of space for everyone. Was so glad that TikTok helped us come across this!

Nice small beach. Quite hard to reach and the stones are hard to walk on and sometimes the watercrafts nearby make exhaust smells, but all together a nice relax for some hours. For views on the Old Town better in the morning than afternoon because of the position of the sun.

Lots to in the beach. There are around 70 steps to get from the street to the beach though so have that in mind. The beach offers sun beds for 30€ and 15€ for umbrella, but you can’t rent only an umbrella. You can try kayaking for 30€ per hour and go to the nearby cave which has an amazing water. Close by there are cliffs which you can use for jumping in the water. I totally recommend.

So pleased to locate this gem. Clear water & gorgeous pebbly beach that’s comfortable to lay your towel down. Cheeseburgers at the beach kiosk are super tasty!!!

Wonderful beach with a beautiful and perfect view of the old town of Dubrovnik. Was recommend by a tourist website and is absolutely worthwhile :) We planned only one day at a beach in Dubrovnik and I would return here for sure - especially when being on a short trip here. Arrival by public transfer - bus route 8 - and get out at the last stop (ask the bus driver where the stairs to the beach are).
