Veliki žali Beach, Pebble beach near Brsecine, Croatia
Veliki žali Beach is a pebble beach near Brsecine with a length of about 250 meters and white stones that extend into the water. The water shows green and blue tints that shift with the light throughout the day.
The beach played an important role in medieval trading activity between Dubrovnik and the neighboring island of Sipan. This connection shaped the economic exchanges of the region for centuries.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices at Veliki žali Beach, continuing methods passed down through generations of Dalmatian coastal communities.
The water is very shallow and slopes gradually, which makes it particularly safe for younger visitors. The beach offers lounge chairs, showers, changing rooms, and a restaurant serving local food.
During summer months the water warms to about 25 degrees Celsius, making it particularly pleasant for extended swimming. This natural warming happens because the shallow seabed holds the water like a large basin.
