The biggest beach in Dubrovnik, located on the north side of the peninsula Babin-Kuk, bears the name of the funniest beach in the world. Perhaps not by chance: the Croatian version of the legendary Copacabana seeks no less than its Brazilian brother to satisfy absolutely all the needs of tourists. Here you can dance, drink cocktails, and engage in active sports, and just stupidly swim and sunbathe, and even raft children on an inflatable "island." But everything is in order.
The only drawback, which for many will only be positive, is the location of the beach . Copacabana is not very close to the Old City of Dubrovnik, on foot you can get there, of course, but it will take about 30 minutes, and if it's still in the sun ... So it's better to jump on the bus number 6, which in 5 minutes will take you to one of the most picturesque coasts of the resort. . Fans of walks along the sea can be advised to walk from Lapad beach along the path under the pines, but at the hotel Valamar Dubrovnik President will have to roll and scab go to Copacabana for another 10 minutes through the park on the hill (or stay on the "Valamar" beach, which is also not a bad option) .
Despite the fact that the beach coverage is shallow pebbles, it is great for relaxing with children. The entrance to the water is very gentle and at the depth of a meter the pebble turns into a sand (well, or so small pebbles that you do not feel it any more). In the continuation of the "children's theme": a few meters from the shore floats a huge inflatable "island", on which children of all ages hang. They jump, clamber, slide, jostle, have fun and, most importantly, do not touch their parents at all. Naturally, a pleasant pastime without children is not free.
By the way, about the money . The entrance to the beach is free, but here the sunbeds and umbrellas will cost about 4 EUR per day . The shower is also paid: 30 seconds of unsalted water cost 2 HRK . Also for an additional fee you can rent a kayak, kayak, boat, water bike or motorbike, ride a banana or parachute . All options perfectly complement the rest on the beach - nothing so refreshing from the hot Croatian sun, like a boat trip along the powerful walls of the Old City of Dubrovnik by boat . Well The species that open while you soar over the peninsula of Babin-Kuk , and can not be described at all .
Another "feature" of this beach is a water polo competition. Copacabana is considered one of the sites of the Divlja Liga (in translation something like "Wild League", the league of local non-professional beach teams), which every summer arrange their matches around the city. Finally, this is one of the few beaches equipped for recreation of people with disabilities. Here for them there is a convenient entrance to the water and other services.
In the evening, Copacabana is not sad: a small disco opens its doors, bars and restaurants go into the evening "cocktail" mode of work, smart holidaymakers slowly drain the glass over a glass of wine to prolong the happy the day of vacation is even a little bit.
