Bacvice Beach is located in the city of Split on the southwestern coast of Croatia in the Dalmatia region. Split is the second-largest city in Croatia, and with a metro population of 180,000, the city is always bustling with activity and entertainment. Split is a pleasant mix of historical sites intertwined with modern entertainment, the prime example being Diocletian’s Palace. The palace is the most well-known attraction in the city and its peristil and four gates receive praise as some of the best remaining Roman ruins in the world. Located in the center of the city, the palace was originally constructed in the 4th century CE by the Roman emperor Diocletian, but today the street running through the palace, Decumanus, is lined with modern restaurants, cafes, and bars. Other historical monuments from thousands of years ago are located throughout the city; some of the highlights include the Saint Domnius Cathedral and Bell Tower, the Diocletianus Aqueduct, the Fruit Square (Vocni Trg), the Salona ruins, and Klis Fortress, which is featured in the TV series Game of Thrones. If you’re seeking more modern art and architecture, visit the Gregory of Nin statue or the Meštrović Gallery for an incredible look at the work of the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović. If you’ll be spending multiple days in Croatia, journey on a day-trip outside of the city limits to the Putalj Winery, a local vineyard that’s been producing wine for over 100 years, or take a boat tour to the many caves and islands that surround Split where you can try a service such as Waterworld Croatia for a great guided experience. After spending time enjoying the city, visit the beautiful Bacvice Beach. This beach is great for families and those looking to relax in a calm environment. The best activities for this beach are sunbathing, swimming, and playing on the offshore inflated “playground” that includes a trampoline and various obstacles. Bacvice Beach is the most popular beach in Split, so it’s typically quite crowded, but it’s not very difficult to locate your own stretch of sand. If the beach does happen to be too crowded for your preference, try one of the restaurants that line the beach such as Zbirac, Matoni, and the Kavala Beach Bar. The beach is also a great place to stay into the night because various clubs line this popular location – the best are Tropic Club, Club Black and White, and the Atmosphere Bar. If you prefer, you can also walk to the nearest casino, Admiral Automat Klub, which is a short five-minute walk away from the beachfront. With so much to do in Split, and at Bacvice Beach, you cannot afford to leave this incredible place off your travel list.

Bene Beach can be found in the city of Split on the southwestern coast of Croatia in the Dalmatia region. Split has a population of 180,000 people, making it the second-largest city in Croatia and a cultural hub for the region. Bene Beach is found near the center of Split at the edge of the Marjan Forest Park.

The water at the beach is icy blue and shallow with a rocky bottom that extends far into the water. The area surrounding the beach offers many attractions, with a park, trampolines, tennis courts, and the restaurant Benedikt all within walking distance.

You should begin by finding a hotel to rest for the night; a few of the best nearby are Heritage Hotel 19, Villa Scalaria, and Adriana. When you wake up the next day, tanned and refreshed from your day in nature, walk outside and get a brunch at the luxurious seafront restaurants that line the Riva. The Riva is known for being a who’s who of the rich and famous in town, and whether you stay for the food at one of the cafes or simply admire the moored yachts you will have a great experience. After the Riva, enjoy one of the many historical monuments in Split including Diocletian’s Palace, the Saint Domnius Cathedral and Bell Tower, the Diocletianus Aqueduct, the Fruit Square (Vocni Trg), the Salona ruins, and Klis Fortress (featured in the TV series Game of Thrones). The highlight of Split has to be Diocletian’s Palace, a 4th-century Roman palace that is intertwined with the modern city.
