Korcula Beaches

Home » Korcula Beaches

Korcula has a lot of small and secluded beaches all over the island, but the “best” or let’s say most popular ones, are sandy beach Vela Przina in Lumbarda and pebble beach, Pupnatska Luka. Although these are very popular beaches, there are a lot of hidden and secluded swimming spots in small bays that are worth visiting and spending a day there.

Beaches on the Island are recognized as being some of the best in Croatia. One of the advantages of being surrounded by water is that wherever you go the beach is never too far away. With more than 150 miles of varied coastline, the Island offers wide-ranging types of beaches, rocky, sandy, and pebble, hidden coves with clear waters. A trip to the beach is an essential part of any visit to the island.

On these pages, you will find photographs, videos, and comments on Korcula’s popular swimming spots and beaches that are classified as pebble, rocky, sandy, etc. There is also info about access to a beach, location maps, how to get there, where to park, and similar.

Winter time on the beaches:

Whilst a beach holiday is often associated with good weather, Korcula benefits from all-year-round mild weather. During the autumn and winter months walks to our Defora beaches are very popular, as they provide some of the best landscapes and views of the Korcula and the surrounding island of Lastovo, Mljet, and Peljesac. Beaches, bays, and swimming spots are nice places to walk in the winter or out of season when temperatures are not suitable for swimming or sunbathing.
