Lopud beaches – Lovely sandy beaches and warm sea
Lopud beaches are sandy and the sea is very inviting, Lopud Village has its own sandy beach but visitors to the island of Lopud should visit the famous beach at Sunj Bay. It is on the other side of Lopud Island and can be reached from Lopud Village either by boat or by a lovely walk through cypress and lemon groves. The beach at Sunj Bay is unique, it is horseshoe shaped, is full of beautiful sand and the sea is very shallow, knee deep almost 100 metres out from the beach, making Lopud holidays perfect for families and the local water based game of picigin. It is also possible to take a boat trip to the neighbouring island of Kolocep which has beautiful secluded beaches.
