Beach Prapratno, Sandy beach on Pelješac Peninsula, Croatia.
Beach Prapratno sits along a sheltered bay on Pelješac Peninsula with soft sand and a gradual slope into deeper water. Century-old pine trees and olive groves line the shore, creating shade and protection from the elements.
The beach developed as a maritime hub near Ston, with ferry connections to Mljet Island dating back to ancient times. This transportation role has shaped the area's character for centuries.
During summer, local vendors set up stalls along the shoreline selling regional products such as wines from the peninsula and freshly pressed olive oil.
The beach offers parking, changing rooms, outdoor showers, and chair rentals for visitors. An adjacent camping area allows overnight stays right near the water.
The northern section of the bay transitions into a separate naturist area accessible via a walking path across rocky formations. Visitors can easily move between both sections.
