Badija Island Korcula

Badija (pronounced Badiya) island beaches are just a short water taxi-boat ride from Korcula's town main harbor. Badija has a lot of suitable swimming spots and some pebble beaches all over the Island, as well as couple of restaurants/ cafes that are open in summer months, where one can have snack, refreshment or full 3-course meal too. Badija is ideal place to spend whole or half day out in the nature. Badija is very popular among locals too for weekend day-trips and picnics, so it tent to be crowded at the weekends.

Jumping in the sea at Badija At the southern shores of the Badija, East of the Franciscan Monastery, there is a small pebble beach as well as a large area of jetty and open-water swimming pool that is suitable for swimming as well as sunbathing or serious training in the swimming pool itself. The area is good choice for people who like to jump in the sea (see right photo) as sea here is very deep and jetty is very large too and handy for jumping. Years ago, this area used to be part of Croatia's Sport Federation Centre, when Badija was very popular destination for Croatian sportsman and women to come and spend their summers. Good thing about Badija are those large pine trees that offer shade and comfort on hot summer's days.

Beach on Northern part of Badija On the northern part of Badija Island, facing Orebic and Peljesac Peninsula, there is a large pebble beach that is good for people who wants to have some more privacy and perhaps get into topless or naturist mood. All along that beach there is a lot of pine trees too, so one can find a welcoming shade on the hot day. Waters around Badija are crystal clear as everywhere else along Korcula Archipelago.

Importan Note : If you are adventurous enough, you can rent your own boat from locals and get for day-trip to Badija and other islands though we must warn you to be very, VERY careful when sailing around on your own, as sometimes, there are quick and unpridictable storms that are sudden and very powerfull, which coud be very, very dangerous. If you decide to go for trip on your own, always keep close to the shores, within archipelago, and don't go to the open sea...
