Welcome to Žnjan Beach

Žnjan Beach is located in the eastern part of Split, Croatia, about 4 km from Diocletian's Palace. It's the city's largest beach, stretching over 2 km along the coast. It's easily accessible by car (underground garage with 530 spaces), bus (lines 8 and 15), Uber (€6–9 from Old Town), or bicycle.

Yes! Žnjan has a brand-new two-level underground garage with 530 spaces, plus 451 outdoor spaces — nearly 1,000 total. Parking costs €1 per hour (charges began July 16, 2025). Ten spaces are reserved for disabled drivers. The entire beach complex is a pedestrian-only zone, so you park and walk in. During peak summer months, arrive early as spaces fill quickly. Bus lines 8 and 15 are a convenient alternative from the city centre.

Reopened on June 21, 2025, the €45.77M transformation (including €13.94M in EU funding) rebuilt Žnjan Beach from the ground up. Designed by architect Ante Kuzmanić and built by Lavčević d.d., it includes 11 new pavilion buildings, a two-level underground garage (530 spaces), 451 outdoor parking spaces, a 2+ km promenade, an amphitheatre with steel dome, ~48,000 m² of green space with 730 trees, and full accessibility features including a hydraulic sea-access elevator. Managed by Žnjan d.o.o. under a 40-year concession, it's earned the nickname 'Miami of Split'.

Žnjan Beach is primarily a pebble beach with some sandy sections, especially in the kids' area. The pebbles are small and smooth. We recommend bringing water shoes for the most comfortable experience, especially for children.

Take bus line 8 or line 15 from Split city centre. The ride takes approximately 15–20 minutes. Get off at the Žnjan stop — the beach is immediately visible. Buses run frequently during summer season. You can also take an Uber or Bolt from the Old Town for approximately €6–9.

The swimming season runs from June to September, with July and August being the warmest months (water temperature 24-26°C). For a less crowded experience, visit in June or September. The promenade and restaurants are enjoyable from April to October. For the best combination of warm weather and manageable crowds, early June and September are ideal.
