Trstenica Beach
The beach unfurls for nearly two kilometers, a blend of fine pebbles and coarse sand that crunches underfoot. Behind you, the Pelješac mountains rise sharp and forested; ahead, the open Adriatic stretches toward Korčula's distant outline.

Questions people actually ask about Trstenica Beach.
Is Trstenica Beach suitable for swimming and safe for children?
Trstenica Beach is generally safe and family-friendly, featuring a sandy-shingle bottom with gradual depth increase suitable for children. The beach's length provides plenty of space to find quieter swimming spots. Water conditions are typically calm, though afternoon winds can create small waves. Lifeguard services operate during peak season, and the beach's proximity to Orebić town means help is readily available. The combination of sand and small pebbles is comfortable for most swimmers, though water shoes can enhance comfort.
When should I visit Trstenica Beach to avoid crowds?
For the best experience with fewer crowds, visit Trstenica in June or September when weather remains pleasant but peak tourist season hasn't arrived or has passed. During July and August, arrive early morning before 10 AM or after 4 PM to avoid the busiest midday hours. Weekdays are quieter than weekends when locals join tourists. Despite being Orebić's most popular beach, its considerable length means you can usually find space. Sunset visits offer beautiful light against the Pelješac mountains.
