Divna
Description
Divna is a shingle beach on the Pelješac peninsula in southern Croatia, made up of small smooth stones that slope gently into the water. The shoreline is bordered by natural greenery with trees providing shade, and the clear calm waters are suitable for swimming and wading.
History
The area was historically used as a sheltered anchorage by local fishermen who protected their boats in the small coves from the open sea. This fishing tradition spanning centuries shaped the landscape and established the place as a quiet coastal spot.
Culture
The name Divna means 'beautiful' in the local language, reflecting how locals and visitors experience this quiet coastal spot. Small fishing structures and traditional stone details around the beach show the area's deep connection to fishing heritage and simple seaside living.
Practical
Access is via a narrow winding road, so visitors should allow time for the slow drive through the landscape. Parking is limited but usually adequate, and it is best to bring your own supplies since shops and services nearby are limited.
