Uvala Saplunara

Saplunara is a gloriously laid-back sandy bay tucked into the southeastern tip of Mljet, one of Croatia's greenest islands. You anchor off and dinghy in to reach what's widely considered one of the finest sandy beaches in the Adriatic — rare in these parts where pebble and rock dominate. The surrounding pine-fringed shores and shallow, clear water make it especially popular with families, so expect company in peak season.
