“ If you need me, call me on my shell ”
#1 Vela Pržina, island Korčula
- a sandy beach, located on the outskirts of the town of Lumbarda, on the southeast side of the island of Korčula, overlooking to the open sea and the archipelago of the islands of Lastovo
- it’s protected from the northern and western winds
- delightful beach surrounded by vineyards, it will offer you clean sea and fine sand
- there are anchorages on the east side of the bay (in this bay there is a good depth of 2 to 6 m), but stay closer to the east side of the bay to avoid a cable in the sea on the west side
- to avoid accidents , you should anchor there only when the weather is fine
#2 Bili Žal, island Korčula
- the beach is located on the opposite, northern side of Vela Pržina, and you can walk from the centre of Lumbarda to the beach, it will take you about 10 minutes through the Grk vineyards
