Obojena Beach, also known as Obojena Svjetlost, is a charming pebble beach located at the foot of the iconic Marjan Hill in Split, Dalmatia, Croatia, roughly 3 kilometers from the historic town center. This beach offers a tranquil and less crowded alternative to its more glamorous neighbors, featuring a distinctive natural shape with a mix of pebbles and small concrete sunbathing areas. The crystal-clear Adriatic waters and scenic surroundings make it a favorite retreat for both locals and visitors seeking a peaceful seaside experience. The beach bar adds to its appeal with reasonably priced refreshments, making it an ideal spot to relax after exploring the Marjan forest park or the city itself.
Despite the lack of natural shade due to the absence of trees, the spacious layout ensures comfort even during the busiest summer days, typically late July and early August. Its accessibility by car with ample free parking, or public transport, along with its quiet yet lively atmosphere, guarantees a welcoming environment for diverse travelers, from families to solo visitors. The beach’s combination of natural beauty, practical amenities, and a relaxed vibe defines its unique charm in the Dalmatian coastline.
Obojena Beach's proximity to Split offers visitors a chance to easily combine beach relaxation with cultural exploration, including a short walk or a quick bus ride to the Diocletian's Palace and other city highlights. Its distinctive pebble shoreline and unspoiled environment make it not just a place to swim but a serene coastal oasis deeply loved in the region.
