St. Jakov Beach, Beach near Saint Jacob Church in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The beach spans along a pebbled shoreline beneath limestone cliffs, offering views of Lokrum Island and Dubrovnik Old Town across the Adriatic Sea.
The beach sits below Saint Jacob Church and Benedictine Abbey, established in 1222, where Ragusan emissaries prepared before traveling to Constantinople.
The beach maintains its position as a central meeting point for Dubrovnik residents who gather here during summer evenings for swimming and socializing.
Access requires descending 160 steps from the church parking area, while public buses 5 and 8 provide transportation from Dubrovnik Old Town.
The beach combines natural rock formations with pebbled shores, creating separate swimming sections at different water depths throughout the bay.
