What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lovrečina Bay Beach is praised for its rare sandy shores and clear, shallow waters, making it ideal for families. Visitors also appreciate the nearby ancient basilica ruins. However, the narrow, steep access road can be challenging, and the beach can get very crowded during peak season, with some finding it less appealing than other Brač beaches.
"Nice sandy beach, but very very busy on a weekday afternoon in July. Water is shallow, and is a beautiful blue. Sand is nice and soft. Shaded areas on the side to set up !"

"Compared to other 5 star rated beaches, this beach actually is amazing. Why?
1. Secluded area, not too many people during end of June
2. Great place to swim. Please bring your water shoes.
3. Clean water! You don’t even need goggles to see the fish
4. A lot of space to sit and lay next to the water. There is even a wooden path on the right side of the bay where people lay or swim next to.
5. Bring your own food and please don’t litter 🚯
6. No tickets needed to enter (not sure why people think so)"

"Cute little site overlooking the beach and the bay it is set in. Solid information can be found on the buildings entrance and it is a nice place to visit after a day spent on the beach below. You get to see an old church with a baptism pool inside and one made later on the side of the structure. Easy accessible by foot from the road but the road itself is quite steep and narrow so be careful when driving down from the main road."
