About Bačvice Beach

Bačvice is Split’s best-loved beach, a curved bay of sand and shallow water a short walk east of the centre. It is where locals play picigin, keeping a small ball in the air while splashing in the shallows, a game born here. Cafés and bars line the bay, and it stays lively into the night.

Why it's on our list

  • A sandy beach in the city
  • Shallow water, good for children
  • Watch a game of picigin

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Bačvice Beach before you go.
