Cava Beach, Blue Flag pebble beach on Babin Kuk peninsula, Croatia

Cava Beach is a beach on the Lapad peninsula in Dubrovnik, between Copacabana and President beaches below the Babin Kuk hotel complex. It carries the FKK label and is mostly used by nudists. The shore has the facilities expected of a modern beach.

This beach emerged during Dubrovnik's tourism growth starting in the late 1900s as the waterfront along Babin Kuk was developed. It gained Blue Flag certification, marking its meeting of environmental and safety standards set by European monitoring organizations.

Cava carries the FKK label, and most of the beach is set aside for nudists, which shapes who comes and how the shore is used. It sits between Copacabana and President beaches below the Babin Kuk hotel complex, so hotel guests and nudist bathers share the same stretch of coast.

The beach is accessible by bus number 6 from the Old Town center, with the main stop at Hotel Valamar President near the top of the peninsula. From there, a marked coastal path leads down to the water in just a few minutes on foot.

The beach naturally divides into two distinct areas: a quieter side for relaxation and a livelier section with the beach club that transforms in the evening. Many visitors discover this split only when exploring, finding they can choose their preferred mood.
