The speedboat slips away from Dubrovnik's stone harbor and the city’s rooftops fall behind like a graying map. Salt air sharpens your senses as the Elaphiti islands appear: low, rocky silhouettes cut by caves that flash a strange turquoise when light finds them. You’ll make short stops at a luminous Blue Cave and three smaller sea caverns before the boat eases onto the broad sand of Sunj Beach, where shallow water invites easy snorkeling and sunbeds wait beneath scrubby pines.
