It’s not surprising that Dubrovnik is such a big hit with families. Its beauty is like something out of a fairy tale, and it instantly casts its spell on people of all ages. The clear, clean waters of the Adriatic are all around the Old Town and its sprawling peninsulas – some within small pebbly coves, others with long stretches of beach. You won’t find sandy beaches here, so bring a supply of swimming shoes for the family.
Beach-lovers will want to head north of the Old Town to the Lapad or Babin Kuk peninsulas, which have the most convenient family-friendly hotels with beaches nearby. Plenty come with indoor and/or outdoor pools and children’s play areas, as well as family-friendly spas. Sheltered Lapad Bay offers good swimming for children, and there’s a wide range of restaurants and cafés. Buses into the Old Town are frequent and very straightforward.
