Lokrum Island

Dubrovnik, Croatia

About Lokrum Island

A 10-minute ferry from the Old Harbour — a small island nature reserve with a botanical garden, a 12th-century Benedictine monastery, the Dead Sea (a saltwater lake), peacocks wandering freely, and the nudist beach that every returning Dubrovnik visitor prioritizes. Boats run every 30 minutes in season.
