Walk from the main gate in the walls about 10 minutes and access by some steep steps . After spending a few days sight seeing it was nice to have some time relaxing and watching the swimmers. We didn’t pay for the expensive sunbeds as we only stayed an hour or so, the rocks to the right side of the bar were full of people on towels and it was a nice spot where you could jump in the sea or watch the many boats in and out of the harbour,

Not the cheapest place but I feel some of the reviews here are a bit unfair! Great views across to Lokrum island, shingle underfoot so not the nicest of beaches but it served a purpose after a morning of kayaking and we just wanted to chill and have some drinks! We had good waiter service and the cocktails and beer was very good! Really comfortable sunloungers. Short walk from the city walls/old town.

Beautiful beach which is public. The restaurant / sun bed staff rude/abrasive and at 25 euro for one sun bed plus 8 euro for the tiniest umbrella is a total tourist rip off. When we went to corgi these were free with purchasing drinks or food. What a shame.

Lovely little beach, even if busy at times - a short walk from the Old Town and looking out over Lokrum. White pebbles with crystal clear sea and all the facilities you could want, if you want them. We didn’t hire anything and just used our towels. I imagine it can be heaving in the summer but my only complaint (hence the average rating) is the poor attitude of the staff (most of them it seemed?!) in the bar and restaurant area. We only visited briefly during the peak heat, to enjoy a cold beer or Coke, but the service was always slow and indifferent. At times I could swear waiters were purposely looking every except where customers were waiting to be served. Sometimes you could get the attention of someone and despite them having nothing to do they would go off and find someone else, only for the eventual order to take a long time to arrive too. There are worse things to deal with in life but not ideal when on holiday and paying Dubrovnik prices.

Lovely small beach close to the old town, the water was clear and beautiful, all the family enjoyed swimming and playing in the water and we visited several times during our week stay as it was opposite our accommodation. The beach bar was lovely, we didn't eat there but food looked good and was priced similarly to other bars in the city. We had drinks several times and the service and facilities were great. The beach does get busy and isn't huge but we always managed to find a spot to sit, take your beach shoes because it's pebbley. There is a bakery and supermarket for drinks and snacks to take on the beach just before you get to the entrance. Paddle board hire and sunlounger hire is the most expensive I've ever known on holiday, €20 per hour for paddle boards and sunlongers are €25 for single and €70 for double for the day.

Visited Banje Beach mid week in early June. A typical pebble beach which seems common in Dubrovnik. Despite the previous reviews, the staff were friendly and polite. Sunbeds are expensive but that appears to be the case in this area at €25 per bed and a parasol was €8 so slightly cheaper than St Jacob. The beds however are quite uncomfortable (cheap thin cushions). Drinks are expensive but they have a captive audience. The beach got very busy with most people lying on the stones as the beds are expensive. This beach is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues due to the steep steps to get to it. All in all an ok beach but I guess Dubrovnik is not known for its beaches.

Lovely beach, very steep stairs to get to the beach. Half sand half stones, nice lounger and parasol, very expensive €25 per. Drinks and food is affordable and people are nice. The water is lovely and clear a short ride away from the fortress. Lovely place

My husband and I (34 yrs old) spent less than 2 hours here while we were waiting for a ferry to Hvar. A lot of the reviews complained about the price, and it was $80 for a 2 person covered sunbed- which is not worth it for the amount of time we were there, but if you're staying the whole day I think it's well worth it. It was a good atmosphere. A lot of reviews also complained about the service being slow- which it is, but that's not a Banje Beach thing, or even a Croatia thing, that's ALL of Europe. Service is just slower and less attentive in Europe than it is in the US and you just need to know that and be prepared for it. Since we were waiting for a ferry, we stored our luggage at a Bounce location a 5 min walk from the beach club instead of dragging our luggage down the stairs to the beach club. I'll also mention that the traffic by the cable car and Pile gate is really really bad, so it took like 25 mins for our uber to arrive to take us to the ferry, even though it said it was only 4 mins away.

Close to the old city, this is a convenient and safe access to swimming in the sea. When we visited, mid afternoon on two warm June days, it was absolutely heaving, with little space to sit. You can hire deck chairs or there is a pleasant restaurant on the beach. There are a couple of changing cubicles, good toilets, and a shower. But be warned - you need 50c pieces for your 30 secs under the shower. No one was able to give us any change - not at the restaurant or the watersports stall. Also take beach shoes - this beach is very stony!

I can say that it is the only beach in the city center that can be walked to, it is only 5 minutes walk from Oldtown. The beach and sea are small pebbles, I recommend shoes or slippers. Since there are 70 steps down to the beach, it is not suitable for the elderly or disabled. There are paid and free sections, sun loungers are 25 €, umbrellas are 8 €. You can use your own umbrella and towel in the free section. We as a family liked it.
