Konavoske stijene, Natural protected site in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia.

Konavoske stijene is a protected coastal strip in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County of southern Croatia, stretching about 8 km along the Adriatic between Komaji and Poljice and averaging some 450 m wide. Its limestone cliffs drop steeply into the sea to a depth of up to 50 m, and coral reefs have formed in places. Behind the coast lie dry grasslands and thermo-Mediterranean scrub.

Konavoske stijene was declared a Site of Community Importance in July 2013, covering 372.61 ha entirely on land. It lies in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, on a coastal strip about 8 km long and on average 450 m wide between Komaji and Poljice. The designation protects four listed natural habitats, including limestone cliffs with endemic Limonium vegetation.

The site's name, Konavoske stijene, means "Konavle cliffs", after the Konavle region where the coastal strip between Komaji and Poljice lies. The cliffs are noted for stands of sea lavender (Limonium spp.) endemic to Mediterranean coasts, one of the four habitats listed for the site.

The protected strip runs about 8 km along the coast between Komaji and Poljice, with the cliffs dropping up to 50 m into the Adriatic. There are no marked trails or viewing platforms in the sources; the hinterland is dry grassland and thermo-Mediterranean scrub, so expect open, uneven ground. The site lies in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, centred at 42.508232°N, 18.33361°E.

The site's four listed habitats are thermo-Mediterranean and pre-desert scrub, cliffs with endemic Limonium vegetation, limestone rock slopes with chasmophytic plants, and a pseudo-steppe of annual grasses of the Thero-Brachypodietea. The cliffs drop up to 50 m into the Adriatic, and coral reefs have formed in places.
