Swim in the Crystal Clear Water of Zaraće Beach Cove

Zaraće Beach is stunning cove along the coast of Split, Croatia. This is an off-the-beaten-path swimming hole with crystal clear aquamarine ocean water against a rocky landscape. It’s the perfect temperature in the summer for a refreshing swim.

Details

Taking a car here is challenging. If you decide to do so, park high up along the main highway and walk down to the Cove. We took scooters down a steep road and parked them closer to the coast.
There are no bars or restaurants here, it’s very secluded. Bring water and snacks with you.

Tip: Wear water shoes, the beach is rocky and there are sea urchins you could potentially step on. Ouch!

Getting there

Walk down the road towards the ocean and then hike down towards the water. You’ll see stairs on the right that will lead you down into the stunning cove where it is quiet and serene. Even in peak season we nearly had it all to ourselves. The biggest reason it’s so off the beaten path is because it’s tough for cars to get down here, even on scooters it was quite steep and narrow going down the hill.

The effort was well worth it! Just look at this amazingly blue water we got to swim around in!
