All about Duće Glavica beach

Family-friendly sandy beach near Omiš with Mediterranean flair

Duće Glavica Beach is located just a few kilometers west of the town of Omiš and is one of the most popular sandy beaches in the Central Dalmatia region . Nestled between the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea and the impressive backdrop of the Biokovo Mountains, this stretch of coast offers everything you need for a relaxing beach holiday in Croatia – especially for families with children.

Best location and easy accessibility

The beach is located directly in the town of Duće , a charming coastal village whose flat, sandy coastline stands out from the many pebble beaches in the region. Thanks to its proximity to the town of Omiš, Duće Glavica is easily accessible by car, as well as by public transport from Split or Makarska. There are several designated parking spaces along the main road – however, early arrival is recommended during peak season, as spaces can fill up quickly.

Infrastructure for carefree holidays

The infrastructure at Duće Glavica Beach is excellently developed. Public restrooms and showers are available, making even a longer stay at the beach pleasant and uncomplicated. In addition, there are numerous cafés, beach bars, and restaurants along the promenade, offering local specialties, cold drinks, and ice cream for younger guests. Sun loungers and umbrellas can be rented at several locations.

The gently sloping seabed makes the beach ideal for families with small children and older people who prefer easy access to the water. It’s also a safe spot for non-swimmers, as the water remains very shallow for extended periods.

Beach activities

In addition to classic sunbathing and swimming, the beach also offers recreational activities such as pedal boat rentals and stand-up paddleboarding. Those looking for something more active can try jet skiing nearby or take a kayak tour along the coast. The proximity to Omiš also offers opportunities for day trips to raft on the Cetina River or hike in the surrounding mountains.

Insider tip for guests seeking peace and quiet

While the central section of the beach can be quite busy during peak season, you’ll find even quieter sections to the east – away from the main promenade – ideal for relaxing with a bit more privacy.
