Kasjuni Beach
Kasjuni is a scenic pebble-and-rock beach west of Split's Old Town, prized for its crystal-clear, calm water and natural backdrop of cliffs and pines. Facilities are minimal and reportedly shrinking, so visitors should bring water shoes, sun protection, and their own food and drinks. It's divided into public, dog, and nudist sections, and gets very crowded after midday.
- Best time:
- Early morning (before 1 PM) to beat crowds and heat; September offers warm water with fewer people.
- Who it's for:
- Beach lovers seeking natural scenery and clear water who don't mind minimal facilities and can come self-equipped.
