Pelješac, Kobaš
Once a small fishing village, Kobaš has transformed into a favorite anchorage for sailors seeking peace and great seafood. Surrounded by mountains and only accessible by a narrow road, it remains a hidden gem on the Pelješac Peninsula.The Bay of Kobaš, with a sandy shoreline and its own marina, has become very popular with the yachting community. Although it is only 7 km away from Ston, this village is not easy to reach. It is surrounded by mountains and hills, and the narrow road from Broce and Ston was constructed only a few years ago. For a long time, Kobaš could be reached by boat only and was called “an island on a peninsula”.
Nowadays, Kobaš is, first of all, a secluded cove visited by yachting enthusiasts, who are interested in a nice beach and a good seafood meal. In the 20th century, Kobaš was known as a humble fishermen’s village inhabited by only 7 families. For those interested in the town’s history, Kobas was the setting of great tragedy during World War II, you’ll find a monument above Luka’s Taven. Nowadays, only two families are living in Kobaš.

Things to do
The best thing to do in Šipanska Luka is simple: enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Take a dip in the azure waters, sunbathe, go for gentle walks, or even bring a picnic to enjoy with your friends, family or partner. There are often few stands selling local goods, so this could be a good opportunity to buy souvenirs like lace, olive oil and jewellery. If you’re prepared for a big hike then you can also visit Sv.
