Lokrum island beach
  Island
of Lokrum is situated in front of the Old city, ten minutes
pleasant sail by taxi boat from Dubrovnik. From the Old
city port regular taxi boats run during Spring and Automn
every hour and during the summer time every half and hour
to the island.
It is a popular excursion spot and a great choice to spend
a whole day enjoying the sun and the see. The island is
a natural resort protected by the Croatian Academy of Art
and Science.
On the island there is a Botanic garden with tropical and
subtropical plants. On the highest peak there is a Fort
Royal built in a shape of five pointed star by French army
in 1806; it gives a magnificient view of Dubrovnik, Cavtat
and the island itself. Walking through pathways you can
easily reach the old Benedictine monastery preserved and
partly restored into the Maximilian of Habsburg palace in
19th century; now serves as a restaurant and café
bar.
On the island there is a small lake linked with the open
sea, called Mrtvo more - Dead Sea, very suitable for children
and non swimmers to bathe in.
Lokrum's beaches are rocky and back onto groves of pine
trees.
