Copacabana Beach

Copacabana Beach is a pebble beach on the Adriatic coast just south of Dubrovnik's Old Town. The bay features gently sloping waters and is framed by pine trees and medieval walls, offering views of historical structures while swimming.

The beach was developed as a local swimming spot in the 1960s and later took the name of a famous Brazilian counterpart to draw international visitors. This development was part of the coastal tourism expansion around Dubrovnik.

The beach serves as a gathering point where visitors can experience Mediterranean beach customs while enjoying local food specialties and traditional music.

The beach is easily accessible from the town center and provides shaded spots under pine trees along with rental options for sunbeds and umbrellas. Visitors should bring comfortable footwear since the pebble surface can be rough, and arrive early to secure good spots.

There is a separate area called The Place To Be with premium beds and round loungers facing nearby Dalmatian islands. This elevated section provides an alternative to the main beach for visitors seeking more comfort.
