Plaža Kašjuni
Plaža Kašjuni is a long, scenic pebble beach just a short drive or bus ride from Split's old town, prized for crystal-clear water and beautiful natural surroundings backed by pine trees. It has a beach club (Joe's) offering drinks, food and sunbed rentals, though reviewers consistently flag high prices and cash-only payment. It gets very crowded in summer, but walking further along the beach finds quieter, shadier spots, and it's a favorite location for watching the sunset.
- Best time:
- Late afternoon into sunset for the views; shoulder seasons (late spring/September) or early morning on weekdays to avoid peak-summer crowds.
- Who it's for:
- Visitors staying in Split who want a scenic, clear-water pebble beach with easy access and optional beach-club comforts.
