Bacvice Beach is the closest beach to the centre of Split.

This small sandy beach is located in the Bacvice area of the city, a 10-15 minutes walk from Split’s promenade, the bus and train stations and the ferry terminal.

As well as the small crescent of sand, there is also a large concrete area which is popular with sunbathers and swimmers. While the beach itself is not spectacular, the sea is a lovely turquoise colour and very clean.

The beach is backed by lots of greenery and cafes and restaurants nestled in between the trees and gardens.

Slightly beyond the beach is the Bacvice complex. During the day time this consists of relaxing seaside cafes, restaurants and ice cream parlours. There is also a childrens play area including go karts, trampolines and bouncy castles. By night, the cafes become more lively and a handful of loud bars and discos open up.

Further along the coast you can enjoy a pleasant seaside stroll along the quiet paths or leave your clothes on some of the many rocks and enjoy a dip in the warm sea.
