Drvenik

Croatia, Central Dalmatia

Drvenik is a pleasant summer resort located on the Makarska Riviera about 30 km southeast of Makarska and about 20 km northwest of Gradac. Drvenik is divided into two parts - Gornja Vala (Gornja uvala) is smaller and quieter than Donja Vala (Donja uvala) and is a short walk along the coast. Both pebble coves have wide beaches with moderate water entry, so they are suitable for families with children.
There is a ferry dock in Drvenik that sails to the island of Hvar to the village of Sucuraj.

Swimming and beach Drvenik

There are beautiful pebble beaches in both bays of Drveník, which are right next to the promenade. The beaches have a gentle entry into the water and are therefore suitable for children.
