Okrug Gornji is a popular seaside resort located on the island of Čiovo, just a few kilometers from the historic town of Trogir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Often called the “Copacabana of Trogir,” Okrug Gornji is known for its long coastline, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, and lively summer atmosphere. Connected to the mainland by bridges, the area is easy to reach while still offering the charm of island life.
The main attraction of Okrug Gornji is its long pebble beach, stretching for more than two kilometers along the coast. The beach features shallow, turquoise waters that are perfect for swimming and safe for families with children. Sunbeds and umbrellas are available, and many parts of the beach offer natural shade from pine trees. The clear sea makes this area ideal for snorkeling and swimming, while floating platforms and water parks add fun for younger visitors.
Okrug Gornji is also a great place for water sports lovers. Visitors can enjoy jet skiing, parasailing, banana boat rides, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Beach volleyball courts and coastal walking paths provide options for staying active on land, while cycling routes around the island offer scenic views of the sea and nearby islands.
Along the beachfront promenade, you’ll find numerous restaurants, konobas, cafes, and beach bars serving fresh seafood, grilled meats, pizzas, and traditional Dalmatian dishes. Many places offer terraces right by the sea, making them perfect for relaxing meals and sunset drinks. In the evening, the area becomes lively, with music, bars, and a cheerful holiday vibe, while still being quieter than larger party destinations.
