Copacabana Beach, Pebble beach in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
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.
Copacabana takes its name from the Brazilian beach in Rio de Janeiro; the sources record no founding date or naming campaign for the Dubrovnik beach. It lies below the Solitudo auto camp in the Babin kuk area, on the stretch of coast facing the mouth of the Ombla river.
The beach sits below the Solitudo auto camp in the Babin kuk area, facing the mouth of the Ombla where it meets the Adriatic. That position keeps the sea refreshingly cool in the hot summer months, and the pebble shore carries the full range of facilities expected of a modern beach.
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.
