Bačvice Beach, Split – Sun, Shallow Waves and a True Local Vibe

#hellohalloween Bačvice Beach is where Split really comes to life. Just a short walk from the Old Town and the ferry port, it’s the city’s most famous beach — lively, family-friendly, and always full of energy. The sand is soft (a rarity in Croatia!) and the shallow water stretches far out, making it perfect for kids to paddle and play safely. Locals gather here from morning to night — swimming, chatting, and playing the traditional game of picigin in the shallows. The atmosphere is relaxed but buzzing, with cafés, ice cream stands, and plenty of space to sit and watch the world go by. It’s not a quiet beach, but it has a wonderful sense of community — a place where tourists and locals blend together under the sun. Ideal for a swim, a stroll, or a lazy afternoon soaking up Split’s seaside spirit. #bačvicebeach #split #croatia
