Divna
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.
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.
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.
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.
The location is valued as a setting for marriage proposals because of its quiet and scenic surroundings. The natural beauty and undisturbed setting make it a memorable place for special moments.
