Kastelet Beach is a popular gravel beach in Split, located southwest of the city center, at the foot of Marjan Hill. Due to its location, it is popular among both locals and tourists, especially among young people, recreationalists, and families.
The beach is known for its clean, crystal-clear sea, relaxed atmosphere, and beautiful view of the vast Adriatic Sea and the islands visible in the distance. It offers a unique opportunity to relax by the water, with a sense of intimacy, despite being quite visited. Along the coastline, there are small bars and cafes where visitors enjoy refreshing drinks and music, especially during sunset when the beach takes on a particularly relaxed and social atmosphere. The beach is suitable for swimming, sunbathing, and enjoying the water, but it lacks natural shade, so it is recommended to bring an umbrella or retreat to one of the bars. Due to the vastness of the beach, there are various spots where each visitor can find their space to relax, whether in the sun or in the shade of trees. Access to the beach is very easy, as there are multiple paths that lead to it by foot, bike, or car. There are parking spaces nearby, making it convenient for those arriving by car. The coastline is very well-maintained and clean, which further enhances the overall experience.
Kastelet Beach is located in the Meje district, which is considered one of the most prestigious and greenest districts in Split. This area is known for its peaceful and pleasant atmosphere, dominated by green spaces, trees, and beautiful villas, often with sea views. The Meje district borders the Marjan Nature Park, which is popular among nature lovers and recreationalists, offering numerous walking and cycling paths and viewpoints from which one can admire the panorama of the city and its surroundings. This district is also home to important cultural landmarks, such as the Mestrovic Gallery, dedicated to the work of one of Croatia’s most prominent sculptors, Ivan Mestrovic, which gives this area a special cultural touch. Split is a city with a rich history and one of the most visited tourist destinations on the Adriatic. With its historical heritage, including Diocletian's Palace – a UNESCO World Heritage site, and many other cultural and historical landmarks, it is a popular destination for both history lovers and those seeking relaxation by the sea. In addition, Split offers many restaurants, cafes, and bars where visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant city atmosphere. The western part of the city, where the Meje district is located, is quieter and more connected to nature, as the Marjan Park is nearby.
Kastelet Beach offers an excellent combination of seaside relaxation, cultural experiences, and natural beauty, making it a unique spot to visit in Split. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a peaceful yet lively place by the sea, while also wishing to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and cultural heritage of this historic city.
