Ladies' Beach
Ženska plaža
A rocky beach below the pine woods southeast of the Old Town, with sulphur springs said to aid fertility. Parts are reserved for women only.
Ladies' Beach (Ženska plaža) lies on the pine-fringed coast southeast of Mala Plaža. It is a small rocky cove where sulphurous mineral water seeps from the rock crevices. Local legend holds that bathing in this water helps women conceive, so by tradition only women were admitted, and a paid women-only section still operates today. The setting is simple, making it suitable for visitors who want to experience local custom or find a quiet place to swim. It is about a 20-minute walk from Mala Plaža along the seafront promenade and through the pine woods. The rocks are slippery, so take care when entering the water, and the sulphur smell is normal.
Opening hours
Summer daytime (women's section charges a fee)
