Beach Gabine is a picturesque pebble beach located in Kaštel Stari, the oldest of the seven historic towns forming the Kaštela Riviera between Split and Trogir. Stretching several hundred meters along the Adriatic coast, it features crystal-clear waters and a family-friendly atmosphere, shaded by pines and tamarisks. This serene spot attracts visitors seeking calm swimming conditions and panoramic views of Dalmatia’s rugged coastline, with its blend of natural beauty and easy access to nearby urban centers.

The beach’s gentle slope and still waters make it ideal for children, while its pebbled surface ensures clean, transparent swimming conditions. Visitors praise its uncrowded vibe compared to more tourist-heavy destinations, offering a balance of relaxation and accessibility to Split’s cultural attractions just 15 minutes away.

Tich Kitchen & Bar stands out for its creative Mediterranean dishes and lively atmosphere, offering outdoor seating with sea views alongside craft cocktails and a vegetarian-friendly menu. Konoba Lemo specializes in fresh seafood and Dalmatian classics like grilled fish and peka, served in a rustic stone courtyard steps from the shore. For a modern twist, OBROQ Street Food Restaurant delivers vegan-friendly burgers and salads in a casual, LGBTQ+-friendly space, emphasizing quick, flavorful bites.

Mala Mora Restaurant & Cocktail Bar impresses with its waterfront location and seafood-focused fare, including oyster platters and sunset cocktails. Konoba Kastilac rounds out the options with traditional Croatian dishes like pasticada and homemade wine, served in a cozy, dog-friendly environment. Many venues, such as Grill Europa and Konoba Dominik, emphasize locally sourced ingredients and al fresco dining with Adriatic vistas.

Hotel Štacija offers polished waterfront accommodations with a chic terrace restaurant and private beach access, appealing to travelers seeking modern amenities near Split’s attractions. Villa Sol provides intimate B&B-style lodging just two minutes from the beach, featuring Mediterranean-style rooms and personalized service. Hotel Villa Žarko combines affordability with a prime location, featuring an outdoor pool and direct access to the Kaštela Bay.

B&B Helena offers budget-friendly stays with garden access and proximity to quieter beaches, ideal for families. XIV Century Rooms immerses guests in historic architecture near the waterfront, blending medieval charm with modern comforts like free Wi-Fi. Most properties emphasize proximity to local restaurants and cultural landmarks.

Beach Gabine provides essential amenities, including restrooms, outdoor showers, and shaded picnic areas beneath tamarisk trees. Visitors can rent lounge chairs and umbrellas during peak season, while nearby vendors offer snacks and beverages. The beach’s gradual entry and calm waters eliminate the need for lifeguards, though families appreciate the ample space for sand-free relaxation on its smooth pebbles.

While lacking dedicated changing cabins, the surrounding pine groves offer natural privacy. Rental services for kayaks and paddleboards are sporadically available, though most visitors bring their own gear. The absence of loud commercial developments preserves the beach’s tranquil character.

Swimming and sunbathing dominate daytime activities, with the beach’s calm waters also ideal for beginner snorkeling. Kayaking along the Kaštela Riviera’s six-kilometer coastline offers views of historic castles and olive groves. Families often organize beach volleyball matches on the softer inland pebbles, while occasional yoga sessions occur at sunrise.

Boat tours departing from nearby Kaštel Novi provide access to secluded coves and the islands of Čiovo and Šolta. Evening passeggiata walks along the waterfront promenade are popular, with many visitors transitioning to waterfront konobas for dinner. Seasonal festivals, such as the Kaštela Cultural Summer, bring open-air concerts to nearby castle courtyards.

Beach Gabine has a gently sloping pebble surface, manageable for wheelchairs with wider tires, though no dedicated ramps or beach wheelchairs exist. Nearby restaurants like Konoba Kastilac provide step-free access and adapted restrooms. The waterfront promenade features smooth paving suitable for mobility aids.

Parking areas closest to the shore lack official disabled-designated spots, but drivers can temporarily unload equipment near the beach entrance. Public buses from Split accommodate wheelchairs, stopping 300 meters from the beach. Local hotels like Villa Sol offer ground-floor rooms with roll-in showers.

Free street parking lines the parallel road behind Beach Gabine, though spaces fill quickly by mid-morning during summer. Paid lots near Konoba Lemo and Hotel Štacija offer secure alternatives within a 5-minute walk. Limited disabled-accessible spots exist near the beach’s eastern entrance.

Visitors recommend arriving before 10 AM to secure closer parking, especially on weekends. Larger vehicles and RVs may struggle with narrow coastal roads, making the paid lot at Kaštel Novi’s harbor a better option. Public transport connections from Split reduce parking demand somewhat, with bus stops 300 meters inland.

Kaštel Stari’s name translates to Old Castle, referencing its 15th-century defensive role against Ottoman incursions. Local legends claim the beach’s unusually smooth pebbles resulted from a medieval merchant’s sunken marble shipment. The area’s tamarisk trees, rare in coastal Croatia, were planted by 19th-century sailors as windbreaks.

During World War II, Partisan fighters used the beach’s hidden coves for clandestine meetings. The Kaštela region produces 90% of Croatia’s maraschino cherries, with nearby orchards visible from coastal trails. Annual sea chub migrations create temporary “fish highways” just offshore each May.

The 15th-century Kaštel Stari fortress, a mere 10-minute walk inland, hosts art exhibitions and cultural events in its preserved stone chambers. Split’s Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies 12 kilometers south, offering Roman-era architecture and bustling markets. Nature trails through the Kozjak Mountain foothills provide hiking opportunities with panoramic coastal views.

The Kaštela Riviera’s string of seven fortified towns features architectural gems like the Rotondo Mare Castle in Kaštel Lukšić. Local vineyards offer tastings of Pošip and Plavac Mali wines, while Trogir’s medieval old town, 14 kilometers northwest, showcases Venetian Gothic landmarks, including the Cathedral of St. Lawrence.
