Walkways follow the coast, past rocky or pebbly beaches. Some stretches are reserved for hotel residents, but most are open - and packed. The stroll south, toward Plava Laguna and Zelena Laguna, can be the most rewarding. You can also take the tourist train from Trg Slobode down the 6km (3.5-mile) walkway to Zelena Laguna, to join the masses on the pebbly beaches. South of the Hotel Delfin, the beaches are rocky but more private.


For a little more privacy, take a taxi boat (every 30mins, 7am-llpm daily, 12kn) over to Sv Nikola. Here you'll find pine-shaded paved and pebble beaches, the most notable being the circular one of Oliva near the Fortuna Island Hotel (see right).
