Sunj Beach

Sunji Beach sailing takes you to the beautiful Elafiti Islands (also spelled Elaphiti), an archipelago of 13 islets and islands that were once said to teem with wild deer. In fact, the name of this sub-group of the Dalmatian Islands derives from the Greek word elafos, meaning deer. While Sipan Island is the largest of the group and quite popular, Lopud Island presents an opportunity to swim and sunbathe at Sunj Beach, one of the best in the area. White-sand, relatively rare in the Dalmatians, stretches out along the cove and forested hills serve as a pleasing backdrop for swimming, relaxing, or strolling along the shore. There are a number of old churches and cemeteries to explore, and vestiges of the vacation retreats built on the island centuries ago. At the port of Lopud, you’ll find hotels, shops, cafés, and restaurants. The island is a favorite vacation destination among residents of nearby Dubrovnik, and on warm summer days Sunji Beach takes on a distinctly party atmosphere as visitors kick back and enjoy the sunshine.
