Swim in the Lokrum Dead Sea There is not a lot of beach area here, and it can become crowded in the afternoons as more people arrive on the island. The best time to explore is in the morning when it's warm, but the area is still quiet. There are sea anemones in the Dead Sea, so swim with caution.

Yes, you absolutely can swim on Lokrum Island, and it is one of the most popular activities for visitors taking the 15-minute ferry from Dubrovnik's Old Town. The island's most famous swimming spot is the "Dead Sea" (Mrtvo More), a small, secluded salt-filled lake linked to the open sea through underground caves. Its calm, crystal-clear water is perfect for children and non-swimmers because it is shallow and lacks waves. For those seeking a more traditional coastal experience, the rocky shores of Lokrum offer various entry points into the Adriatic via metal ladders or flat stone slabs. There is also a well-known naturist (FKK) beach on the southeastern tip of the island for those who prefer clothing-optional swimming. Because the island is a protected nature reserve, the water is exceptionally clean. However, keep in mind that the "beaches" are rocky rather than sandy, so bringing water shoes is highly recommended to protect your feet from sharp stones and the occasional sea urchin.
