 Dubrovnik
Lokrum island naturist beach
  Lokrum
is situated ten minutes by taxi boat from the old port of
red-roofed town of Dubrovnik. Lokrum is honoured as one
of Croatia's national parks and home to one of the country's
premier nudist beaches. naturist beach on the easternmost
point of the island of Lokrum, can be reached by boat from
the Dubrovnik port
Like most of the Dalmatia Coast, Lokrum's beaches are rocky
rather than sandy and back onto groves of pine trees. This
lack of sand is more than compensated for by a stunning
expanse of water. Upon disembarking the boat, my companions
and I followed our fellow passengers along one of the pine-needle
paths. To our puzzlement we saw the people ahead of us returning
in our direction. Then we saw the sign.
The island of Lokrum is a nature park with exotic tropical
and subtropical plants and a unique botanical garden.The
best bet is to catch one of the boats from the old city
jetty (May-Oct 9am-6pm, every 30min, journey time 10min;
15kn return). Reputedly the island where Richard the Lionheart
was shipwrecked, Lokrum is crisscrossed by shady paths overhung
by pines. Extensive rocky beaches run along the eastern
end of the island, and there's a nudist section (FKK) at
the far eastern tip.
