Sun, beaches and crystal-clear water
The Adriatic coastline around Split is among the most beautiful in Europe. Along the bay you’ll find a mix of beaches, small harbours and hidden coves with turquoise water. Many travellers choose seafront campsites, where you can step straight from your tent or caravan into the sunshine and take a refreshing dip in clear water.
From the popular Bačvice Beach to quieter rocky inlets just outside the city, there are plenty of spots to swim, snorkel or simply take in the views of the islands of Brač and Hvar.
In the evening, the coastline turns into an atmospheric place filled with music, terrace dining and the aromas of grilled fish and olives.
A paradise for families
Split is surprisingly family-friendly. Many beaches slope gently into the sea, the water is clear and inviting, and the city offers lots of fun days out.
At a child-friendly campsite or one of the many family campsites in the region, kids can enjoy playgrounds, paddling pools or the entertainment team, while parents relax by the water or at the bar.
Nearby you’ll also find water parks, nature parks and islands that are easy to reach by boat—perfect for a varied family holiday.
