Sv. Jakov beach - One of the most attractive beaches in Dubrovnik, Sv. Jakov (St. James), found its place on a solitude spot in a high rising cove beneath the beautiful church and abbey of Sv. Jakov (St. James). It is a pebble and sandy beach with a tremendous view on Dubrovnik and the Lokrum island.
Several wonderful beaches are located in part of Dubrovnik called Lapad. Lapad is a peninsula holding the most beautiful, outer walls, part of Dubrovnik, with a heavenly bay, Sumratin bay (Uvala Lapad) in which all these beaches are located.
Lapad bay has a long promenade with many cafes. The first beach after the promenade is called Uvala Lapad or Uvala (meaning Bay).
The next beach on your left side is the Adriatic beach. Adriatic beach also has all the commodities like the other beaches, and it is suitable for those who don't like sand or pebbles, because it is made of concrete.
The Vis Beach I is right next to the Adriatic beach. It is a pebble beach. You can find a beach restaurant and a coffee bar on this beach. Cocktail parties are organized on the beach almost every day. For those who like kayaking, there are kayaks and beach canoes for rent. Near the Vis I beach is the Splendid beach.

Except beautiful beaches, Lapad has many other attractive places. If you like playing beach volleyball or tennis there are many courts in Lapad on which these sports can be played. Courts are located on beaches or near them so you can refresh yourselves in the sea after playing.
Across the bay, on the opposite side of all these beaches there is a beautiful walkway for romantic and peaceful walks, conected to the before mentioned promenade. It is a path which leads all around Lapad peninsula and that is probably the most beautiful path for walking in Dubrovnik.
