Just 10 km north of Dubrovnik, Zaton Bay is a place of natural beauty and tranquility, free of Dubrovnik’s tourist crowdsThe deep bay offers kayakers natural protection from Dalmatia’s coastal winds and calm, safe paddling waters, without the busy motorboat traffic around Dubrovnik and Lokrum Island. A paddle around the bay reveals an old stone mill fed by bubbly underground springs, aristocratic villas from Dubrovnik’s Renaissance, and three small sea side villages. Beyond the bay lies the open sea with unobstructed views of Dubrovnik and the Elafiti Islands. Paddle along towering limestone cliffs that rise abruptly from the sea to a secluded cove off limits to motor boats-the perfect spot to swim, snorkel, cliff-jump, and relax.
