Sveti Jakov Beach is located in the eastern part of Dubrovnik and is said to be one of the most beautiful beaches there! Luckily, our apartment was literally a few minutes walk from it so we decided to head up there in the early hours of the afternoon heat.

It was a lovely trek with the brilliant sunshine beating down on us. So much as that I couldn’t help but take a few more sneaky photos, lol.

Sveti Jakov Beach is a secluded pebble beach tucked away within the tiny bay and offering up distant but spectacular views of Dubrovnik Old Town and Lokrum island. The beach itself boasts crystal clear water and is absolutely beautiful! The white pebble beach combined with the shimmering turquoise colours, are a match made in "vacation" heaven!

The beach was not as crowded as elsewhere, seeming to attract more locals than tourists. What a cozy little hidden gem this is and just perfect for a nice relaxing dip. A bit of advice is to remember taking your flip flops or beach shoes as walking with your bare feet on the stone pebbles, can be hard work as well as a little painful, hehe.

The views of Dubrovnik were second to none. After the swim, @ezzy and I decided to have late lunch at the nearby restaurant there. Though it did seem to be way understaffed as we waited for almost an hour for our food and the restaurant was only half full!

The food however was good. @ezzy went for his usual meatfest of beefsteak and chips, which he enjoyed and I opted for the Shrimps “Buzara”. The shrimps, complete with heads and tails, are cooked with olive oil, wine and loads of fresh herbs, almost like a “shrimp stew”. The sauce was rich and delicious but at the same did not over power the freshness of the seafood. Perfect for dipping a few slices of crusted soft bread in!

This is a super tasty Croatian dish and would highly recommend if you have not tried it before.

Soaking up this lovely sun and a fantastic view, we returned to our apartment for a little rest from the rays. Cannot wait for the new upcoming adventures for the next few days!

位于Dubrovnik东部的Sveti Jakov 海滩据说是这里最美丽的海滩之一! 很幸运的它离我们住的公寓只有几分钟的路程。我们当然不能错过啦,所以这天下午我们早早就出发去Sveti Jakov 海滩玩。

用阳光灿烂来形容这里的天气最适合不过了,呵呵。一路上处处美景,我情不自禁地拍了很多照片,呵呵。

Sveti Jakov海滩位于一个很小的海湾,是一个可爱迷人的卵石海滩。在这里,你可以远眺海景,Dubrovnik古城和Lokrum岛,美极了!这里的海水有如绿色水晶般,让人一眼就能望到海底。如此清澈透明的海水我还是第一次见到! 白色鹅卵石与蓝绿色海水相辉映,让我情不自禁地陶醉其中!

相比之下,这个海滩并没有其他地方那么拥挤,看起来当地人比游客更多,给人休闲惬意的感觉。一个小小的温馨提示,要记得带拖鞋或沙滩鞋过来,不然赤脚走在鹅卵石上是会痛的哦,呵呵!

Dubrovnik风景让人叹为观止,流连忘返。 畅游以后,@ezzy和我决定在海滩旁边的餐厅吃饭,继续欣赏美景。这家餐厅似乎有点儿人手不足,客人不多但我们却等了将近一个小时食物才来。

他们家的食物味道还是不错的。@ezzy 点了他最爱的牛排和薯条,而我选择了海鲜大虾餐。大虾连外壳用橄榄油,葡萄酒和大量新鲜配料等烹饪。香浓浓的Buzara酱汁,与大虾的鲜味配搭得天衣无缝,好吃得令我吮手指,哈哈!这是一道经典的克罗地亚美食,如果你没有尝过,我很推荐哦!

天空宽阔无边,蓝天白云,绿色海水,我感觉自己似乎与世隔绝,完全融入到大自然的怀抱中,享受着世外桃源般的轻松自在,呵呵。

O哥喜欢水,哈哈

Hey @travelgirl, yes, here is sooooo beautiful. :)

Beautiful water. Like Maui as far as the color. And the walkways , steps, and passages to get down to the beach are so cool and unique. Never seen anything quite like that here in the States

Also , that steak and fries as well as the crab legs(?) look so delicious :)

Appreciate the time and work it must have taken to put these pics and video together

The view was indeed amazing! Thank you for dropping by @robertandrew!

哇,那个面包看起来真的是太好吃了。

好吃,呵呵。

I am so glad that you like my town! Sv.Jakov is one of the nicest beaches :)
Check out my beach posts to see other hidden ones :)

omg! That view is so nice! Looks like a great spot to eat. I'm still figuring out my EU trip, and Croatia is on my list of places to visit.. especially after seeing this video. AHHH If only I could fit everything in!

Hello @karensuestudios, wish you have a chance to visit Croatia. :)

yes!! hopefully!

Fantastic place and your post is really well detailed :) Love it! Just one thing: those are not shrimps, but "langoustines" or "scampi" :P Whatever the name, they are lovely, eat them a lot in Andalucia, but I don't think I ever tried them in the way you had them there!

Thank you @herverisson for letting me know. The name of "shrimps" is actually from the restaurant menu, haha. And yes, they were absolutely delicious!
