Lapad and Babin Kuk
Description:
Dubrovnik itself only has a beach or two to it's name, but there are two
communities only a 30 minute walk from the old town that hold the majority of
the beaches in the area. The walk to/from Lapad and Babin Kuk is fascinating.
There are sunbathing opportunities the entire way, but the best part is the
teal blue water crashing at your feet and the islands in the distance.
Lapad and Babin Kuk are those two communities, and they are where the
bus station, and most of the big hotels are located.
