Nestled on the southern slopes of Marjan Hill, Kašjuni Beach is one of the most beautiful and well-known beaches in Split. Crystal-clear water, views of the islands of Brač and Šolta and a peaceful natural setting make it a favourite among both locals and visitors looking to spend an entire day by the sea.
Location of Kašjuni beach
Kašjuni Beach is located in the Meje area, on the southern side of Marjan Forest Park, around 3.5 kilometres from Split city centre.
Situated between Kaštelet Beach and the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, it is one of the last large, developed city beaches before the western end of the peninsula.
Surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and backed by the slopes of Marjan, the beach enjoys open views across the Brač Channel, making it one of the most scenic swimming spots in the city.

How to get to Kašjuni beach
There are several ways to reach Kašjuni Beach. From Split city centre, the journey takes around ten minutes by car or taxi.
If you’re using public transport, Promet Split operates bus number 12, which runs from the top of the Riva promenade to the bus stop above the beach. Buses run approximately every 30 to 40 minutes. A one-way ticket costs €1.50 if purchased in advance or €3.00 when bought from the driver.
Kašjuni can also be reached by bicycle.
If you prefer walking, the route follows Split’s western waterfront and the Marjan promenade, taking around 45 minutes from the city centre. It’s a pleasant coastal walk, particularly during the morning or evening when temperatures are lower.
Parking at Kašjuni beach
There is a small car park next to the beach, but during July and August spaces often fill up early in the morning. Parking can be challenging, with limited room to manoeuvre and steep access roads leading to the beach. If you’re not comfortable driving on narrow, sloping roads, it’s worth considering leaving the car behind.
If you’re arriving by car, it’s best to come before 9 a.m. or later in the afternoon, when some visitors have already left.
For many visitors, the city bus, Uber or a taxi is a much easier option than searching for a parking space.
What is Kašjuni Beach like?
Kašjuni is a well-maintained pebble beach stretching for several hundred metres. Its small pebbles and gradual entry into the sea make swimming comfortable, while the water remains exceptionally clear throughout most of the summer.
Thanks to its open position and constant circulation of seawater, the sea is often slightly cooler than at some of Split’s other beaches, something many visitors appreciate during the hottest days of the year.
Facilities
The beach offers showers, changing cabins and public toilets.
You may still come across online information mentioning beach bars at Kašjuni. However, these were removed in 2026 and there are currently no food or drink facilities on the beach itself. If you plan to spend several hours here, be sure to bring enough water and snacks with you.
Unlike some other beaches around Marjan, Kašjuni offers very little natural shade close to the sea.
The atmosphere changes throughout the day. Mornings are generally quieter and popular with locals looking for a peaceful swim, while afternoons attract more tourists and younger visitors.
Who is Kašjuni Beach suitable for?
Kašjuni is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a well-maintained city beach with crystal-clear water and a peaceful atmosphere. Thanks to its pebble shoreline and gradual entry into the sea, it is particularly popular with families, while couples and groups of friends appreciate its relaxed setting and beautiful island views.
If spending the entire day in natural shade is a priority, Kašjuni may not be the best choice. However, if you’re looking for one of Split’s most attractive beaches with excellent swimming conditions, it’s hard to find a better option.
Naturist beach
Beyond the western end of Kašjuni Beach lies Split’s official naturist (FKK) beach. The boundary between the two beaches is marked by a large rock at the end of the main beach.
As the naturist section is physically separated from the main beach, visitors who prefer not to use it will hardly notice that it is there.
Dog beach
On the eastern side of Kašjuni is a small designated dog beach. This is a natural, less developed stretch of coastline with larger stones both on the shore and in the sea. The area is officially designated for dogs and is marked with a “Dog Beach” sign.
Keep in mind that it is one of only a few official dog beaches in Split and is relatively small. If you’re not visiting with a dog, it’s best to leave the space for those who are. Dogs are not allowed on the main section of Kašjuni Beach.
Good to know
The best time to visit Kašjuni is early in the morning or later in the afternoon. At these times the beach is noticeably quieter, temperatures are more comfortable and the views towards Brač and Šolta are particularly beautiful.
If you’re visiting in the middle of the day, bring a sun umbrella, hat or other sun protection, as there is very little natural shade along most of the beach.
