Šunj, Natural beach in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia
Description
Šunj is a natural beach that stretches about 320 meters along the coast, featuring soft sand and clear water backed by low vegetation and rocky outcrops. There are no commercial facilities or umbrellas, leaving the shoreline in its basic state.
History
This coastal area has remained largely unaltered for many years while surrounding beaches were developed for tourism. The shoreline kept its traditional appearance and was not reshaped by large construction projects.
