10 Magical Places to Swim in Croatia
7. Zlatni Rat, Brac Island
Backed by pine-covered hills, with a view of Hvar across the sea, Zlatni Rat (also known as Golden Horn beach) combines a stunning location with a one-of-a-kind beach. Zlatni Rat has a unique horn-shaped formation; an elegant, 400-meter curve of smooth white pebbles.
While the mini-peninsula is constantly changing shape and size due to water currents, one thing that remains constant is the fact that this beach is one of the most scenic places to swim in Croatia.
8. Vis Island
One of the more mysterious islands in Croatia, Vis was once a military zone. Shielded from the outside world for decades, the natural beauty of Vis has remained gloriously intact, making it the ideal tourist destination today. Along with the stunning beaches scattered around the island’s coast, Vis offers an unusual swimming experience.
Contrasting sharply with the beautiful surroundings, a concrete submarine pen serves as a stark reminder of the military operations conducted on the island. Now abandoned, it’s an excellent spot for all kinds of activities; such as swimming, jumping and pretending to be in a Bond film.

9. Dubrovnik
As well as boasting a charming Old Town and plenty of fodder for Game of Thrones fans, Dubrovnik delights visitors with its proximity to several great beaches. After a hot day of exploring the cobble-stoned Old Town streets, a retreat to the beach is mandatory.
Stand out swimming spots include Banje, Buza and Sveti Jakov beaches, but a little curiosity is all it takes to discover more secluded spots.
