Bay Ježinac Beach is a small yet charming beach nestled in the southern foothills of the Marian peninsula in Split, Croatia, approximately three kilometers west of the city center. It lies within a 20-25 minute walking distance from the city center and can be reached via a scenic coastal trail. The beach is also accessible by bus and taxi. A well-known landmark, the Misktrovic Gallery, is situated just a hundred meters from the beach, making it easily identifiable.
The natural beauty of Bay Ježinac Beach is one of its main attractions. It is enveloped by lush greenery, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The beach itself is covered with medium-sized pebbles, with large boulders lining the edges, providing an ideal spot for water enthusiasts who enjoy diving into the water. The surrounding hill is carpeted with pine trees, further enhancing the beach's allure. The sea is remarkably clean and clear, with visibility reaching up to thirty meters in some areas.
Bay Ježinac Beach is well-equipped with amenities for the comfort and convenience of its visitors. It features showers, locker rooms, toilets, and beach bars. For those seeking respite from the sun, there are gazebos and picnic tables nestled in the shade of coniferous trees. A large parking area is also available for visitors who choose to drive. The beach is especially popular around 1 pm, and can get quite crowded. Hence, it is advisable to arrive early to secure a spot.
The beach is not just a haven for adults, but also offers a variety of attractions for children. There is an improvised "paddling pool" for the little ones in the eastern part of the beach. A stone platform situated twenty meters from the shore serves as a diving spot for older children. Adults can engage in snorkeling, enjoy water attractions, or unwind at a coastal bar. Due to the presence of sea urchins, it is recommended to wear water shoes.
Despite its popularity, Bay Ježinac Beach maintains a cozy and elite atmosphere, surrounded by luxurious villas and high-end apartments. It is most vibrant during the summer months, although the spring and autumn seasons also offer comfortable weather and fewer tourists.
