Planjak (pronounced Planyak) is a small islands located right across the sea from Island of Badija on the way to Island Vrnik. (See panorama photo for location of Planjak) This island has some very nice swimming spots along it's shores. The most obvious one is on the Western part of the island, easily spotted when approaching the Island from Korcula Old Town, where very narrow pebble beach can be found.
More interesting one is on the Eastern part of the island, facing Vrnik and Sestrice Islands. This unusual beach is somehow hidden from the eye as it is carved in the large stones. As this part of Planjak is open to southern wind Jugo, large and small stones are eroded by force of strong winds, so pebbles are perfectly shaped, white and clean...
The bottom of the sea here is also interesting as there are a lot of these large pebbles scatted around deep green sea making this tiny spot ideal for snorkeling too. Planjak is very popular among locals for weekend day-trips and picnics, so you have to come early to get this little swimming spot all for yourself. Recommended transport to Planjak : Water Taxi Boat. Satelite image of Korcula Arhipelago that include Planjak

Importan Note: If you are adventurous enough, you can rent your own boat from locals and get for day-trip to Planjak and other islands along Korcula Archipelago. Athough 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...Link: about Korcula Archipelago
