The Adriatic opens like a cool, moving room as the boat slips from Dubrovnik’s harbor and points northwest toward Lopud’s Šunj beach. Salted wind trims conversation and music pours from a high-end sound system — you feel the island approach before it appears: a white sand fringe, a shallow turquoise shelf, a band of pines shading low dunes.

Use reef-safe sunscreen to protect Posidonia seagrass and coastal ecosystems while swimming.
Secure loose items
Wind and waves can blow lightweight items overboard — use dry bags and secure hats or decorations.
Plan for sea conditions
