Kasjuni Beach, Split
The verdict
- Best for: People who want a clear swim and pine shade away from the city crowds but still close to town, and afternoon loungers who like a beach club mood with a sunset over the water.
- Best spot: The pebble below the Marjan pines for the cleanest water, with the beach club loungers behind for shade, drinks and a place to settle into the afternoon.
- Know this: Kasjuni faces west and is a touch out of the centre, so it is calmer and clearer than Bacvice but fills on hot afternoons and is best reached by a short taxi or a walk through the Marjan park.

Kasjuni is the beach Split locals point you to when you ask where to escape Bacvice. It sits below the Marjan, the pine covered hill that forms the green lung of the city, a short way west of the centre, and the difference in feel is immediate. The backdrop is forest rather than concrete, the water is noticeably clearer because you are away from the port and the ferries, and the whole mood is slower. It is pebble rather than sand, so bring water shoes, but the trade is a clean, swimmable bay with real shade behind it.
The beach has grown a following as an afternoon and sunset spot. A beach club operates on the shore with loungers, umbrellas and a bar, and because Kasjuni faces west the late light over the water is the draw, with the day winding down into drinks rather than a late night scene. It suits couples and friends who want their beach with a little service and a good sunset, as much as families who want a cleaner swim than the central beaches give.
The honest note is that the secret is out. On a hot afternoon Kasjuni fills, parking near the beach is tight, and the pebble can get crowded close to the club. It is still calmer and cleaner than Bacvice, but do not expect solitude in August. Come earlier in the day for the quietest water and the easiest parking, or walk in through the Marjan park, which is a pleasant approach in its own right and sidesteps the car park entirely.

Kasjuni beach club
A beach club operates on the pebble with loungers, umbrellas, a bar and food, and the west facing setting makes it a favourite for late afternoon drinks and sunset. The venue name, hours, lounger rates and any minimum spend are to be confirmed.
Free public pebble
Alongside the club there is free public pebble open to all, backed by the Marjan pines for natural shade. There is no charge to use it, so it is the simple way to enjoy the clear water without booking a lounger.
Kasjuni lies on the southern shore of the Marjan peninsula, a short drive or taxi west of the old town, and can also be reached on foot or by bike through the Marjan forest park, which is a pleasant approach in its own right. A seasonal beach shuttle and local buses also serve the Marjan area.
Parking close to the beach is limited and fills on hot afternoons, so arriving early or walking in is the easier plan. The pebble entry can be slippery and the water deepens away from shore, so wear water shoes and mind your depth; conditions are typical and never guaranteed.

Common questions
Is Kasjuni Beach sandy or pebble?
Kasjuni is a pebble and shingle beach, like most along this coast, set below the wooded Marjan hill. The pebble can be sharp underfoot and slippery at the entry, so water shoes make swimming far more comfortable.
Is Kasjuni Beach better than Bacvice?
For a clear, calmer swim with pine shade, many prefer Kasjuni, as it is away from the busy port and the central crowds. Bacvice wins if you want genuine sand, very shallow water for small children and a lively nightlife scene, so the choice depends on the day you want.
Is there a beach club at Kasjuni?
Yes. A beach club operates on the shore with loungers, umbrellas, a bar and food, and the west facing bay makes it a popular sunset spot. The venue details, rates and any minimum spend are to be confirmed.
How do you get to Kasjuni Beach?
Kasjuni is a short taxi or drive west of the old town on the Marjan peninsula, and you can also walk or cycle in through the Marjan forest park. Parking near the beach is limited in summer, so arriving early or walking in is the easier option.
Is Kasjuni Beach good for swimming?
Yes. The water is clean and clear and shelves gently before reaching swimming depth, which suits both waders and swimmers. The pebble entry is slippery and the water deepens offshore, so wear water shoes and mind your depth; conditions are typical and never guaranteed.
