Podgora Town Beach

Podgora's central beaches sit right in front of the town's hotels and along its main promenade, which is closed to traffic. They are the easiest choice for a beach day in Podgora, with everything close by and the mass of Biokovo rising behind you.

The central beaches run for about one kilometre. They are pebbly and sunny, with some stretches shaded by the pines above the promenade, and the entry into the sea is easy and gradual. The largest beach in the centre, in front of Hotel Medora Auri, is adapted for guests with disabilities, with an access ramp and a lift into the sea.

In July and August the beaches are lively, with sounds from the promenade and water sports. Come early for calm water, or visit in June and September.

Showers and changing rooms are available, and sun loungers, parasols and canopies can be hired for a fee. The promenade behind the beach has restaurants, bars and shops.

Jet ski rides, parasailing and banana rides run in summer.

North of the centre lies Plišivac, often called Podgora's most beautiful beach, where small gravel turns to sand at the waterline. Quieter coves such as Garma and Dračevac are further north towards Tučepi, and Čaklje beach is to the south.

The promenade is car-free, so plan to walk. Car parks are listed in the quick facts. Water shoes are useful on the pebbles.
