 Sunj
bay beach is one of the most beautuful sandy beaches in Croatia,
situated on a small, car-free island of Lopud.
This sandy bay is famous for its
swimming pleasure. The bay is almost round with a narrow entrance,
totally filled with white sand and gets deeper very slowly. The
ideal spot for little children. At this side of the island there are
enough possibilities to get something to eat or have a cool drink
and there are also sunbeds and beach umbrellas for hire.
Lopud, northwest of Dubrovnik, is a
part of the Elafiti islands and Kolocep and the most developed
tourist place on Elafiti. There are fourteen islands in the Elafiti
group. The larger and more important islands in the group are
Kolocep (1.35 km2), Lopud (4.63 km2), Sipan (16.5 km2), Jakljan
(3.45 km2) and Olipa (0.8 km2).
Only three of them are inhabited (Kolocep,
Lopud and Sipan), with a total of about one thousand inhabitants.
There is only one settlement on the island, Lopud, situated at the
end of Lopud Cove.where one can stay in private rooms and
apartments. Boats for Lopud and other Elafiti islands are
leaving from Dubrovnik's Gruz harbor. It is a nice 20 minutes sail.
