The 17 best things to do with kids in Korcula Town

Delightful little museum that offers much to intrigue in a relatively small, but pleasingly modern, space. Visitors who are fascinated by the past and prepared to spend the time (and do a bit of reading) are taken through thousands of years of history, including a glimpse of 19th-century cultural life in Korčula - the curator(s) must be congratulated! Not all the explanatory texts and audio are accompanied by English translations, but super friendly staff can assist. A lovely experience (on what was a very cold and wet island afternoon!)

Cute museum showcasing local history all the way from prehistoric times to 20th century. Not sure it's worth the €6 entry fee but it was nice all the same. Nice to do something a bit different to swimming and eating and drinking!

Really good and modern museum occupying 5 floors. EUR6 entrance fee. The basement has the oldest pieces, and it gets more modern history as you climb up. Also a good toilet in the basement, which is handy! I particularly liked the helmet from the 5th or 6th century BC.

Nice exhibit explaining the history of Korcula. Location in one of the old Venetian palaces on the main square. If you have plenty of time it's a good way to spend half an hour to an hour, but if you are in a rush better spend the time walking on the small streets.

Decent city museum! I definitely liked the amphoras (+music background) and photos from 1930's and 1950's. Someone put quite and effort to arrange the exhibition in chronological and well-arranged order.

Korcula Town Museum is located across the St. Marc Cathedral. The Museum is housed in Gabrieli's palace, built in the 15th and 16th centuries but newly renovated. It consists of 4 floors and shows how life on the island looked before. I would definitely recommend this place so you can understand the history of Korcula better. My favorite parts of the museum are the 3rd and 4th floor but the other two floors are no less attractive.

Entrence is only 20kn, and you can explore a bit of Korčula's rich history. A the moment the museum is beeing rebuilt so entrence to the temporary location is just around the corner.

A wonderful unpretentious beach. Great for chilling all day long and the beach bar is a must visit

Beautiful beach with clear water and sandy! There is not much shadow, you can rent parasol for 7€ or sunbed 7€. When you arrive try to drive further to the beach there is a free parking instead of the guy who stop you at the entrance for ticket, feel like a scammer

A beautiful sandy beach near Lumbarda on the island of Korčula. There is a parking lot on the beach, which costs EUR 5 for the whole day. The entire beach is sandy and there is also sand in the sea. There is no shade, so it is not very pleasant to be on the beach without a deckchair and an umbrella (5 EUR for a deckchair and an umbrella). There is also a bar/tavern on the beach so you can refresh yourself with a cold drink. The bay is beautiful, but due to the aforementioned sand and shallows, the beach is more suitable for families with children and is therefore quite visited.

Of all the beaches I visited on the island, this was the most underwhelming. The water was a bit murky—likely because it’s a sandy beach—especially compared to the crystal-clear stone coves nearby. I actually ended up leaving and swimming at the local town beach instead, which was much nicer. That said, it could be great for families with young kids who want to play in the sand. There’s plenty of parking, and I didn’t spot any sea urchins, which is a plus. But if you have a car, I’d recommend heading to another cove.

After a week of rocky beaches I was so happy to find a sandy beach. This beach was lovely, clean and plenty of space. There is no shade but you can rent umbrellas for 7 euro with a friendly guy to help you set it up. The water was clear and refreshing. There is a also a pavilion that serves food and drink if you fancy (I didn't go here so can't comment on the quality). There are also toilet facilities here. I walked here from the bus which was a small mission but it was worth it! There appeared to be plenty of parking options if you were driving.

One of the most popular beaches, cos it's sandy and a 15 mn ride from old town. Very easy going. Long chairs and parasol on the expensive side (7 € each) so better come equipped

Really beautiful and clean beach. Road down could be tricky if you’re having trouble walking, good shoes is needed also bring swimming shoes! Cute little kiosk with water/ beer etc. Good and cheap sunbeds/ umbrellas to borrow, 10E for two beds and an umbrella.

My husband and I booked a full day sailing trip with Korcula Outdoor. This was a working sailboat with a captain (Milijenko, who was fantastic - so generous with his local knowledge and sailing expertise). This was a full day sail, with a couple of stops for swimming in the beautiful Adriatic. Ivana from Korcula Outdoor organized everything for us for the trip, including proposing several options for a lunch stop to meet our tastes and budget. Ivana was so generous with her time, she even helped us book an olive oil tasting elsewhere on the island. I can’t recommend her and Korcula Outdoor enough!

Excellent experience with Boris, an informative and helpful guide. The local wine and pastries were exceptional. We took this tour on our last full day on Korčula and my only regret is we didn't do it on day one, as we learnt so much.

Our kayak tour was a wonderful getaway. We went around the island of Badija and stopped for a swim and walk at Vrnik island. Damir was a great company, and was very knowledgeable regarding local history and mythology placed in the area; he really gave us a good background of the places we saw. I have the highest recommendations for Korcula Outdoor activities, and should i come back to Korcula, I’ll make sure to arrange some new adventures with Damir!

We had an unforgettable two-day sea kayaking adventure with Korčula Outdoor, and I can highly recommend them. We’re a family of three with some prior kayaking experience, and the team did a fantastic job of organising a bespoke trip that perfectly suited our level and interests. Communication was clear and professional. Despite being a smaller outfit, Korčula Outdoor has good local knowledge and experience. We were assigned a personal guide for the two days, who was friendly, skilled, and made us feel safe and supported while still giving us the space to enjoy the adventure. We arranged camp overnight on a deserted island off Korčula — a magical experience made easy by the fact that the company provided everything we needed. It was well organised and allowed us to really take in the natural surroundings. overall we covered about 30km over two days but had good conditions and the team could have adapted as needed. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Croatia, and thanks to Damir for arranging it so well and Nikolas for the guiding.

We had such a wonderful experience, one of the highlights of our Croatia trip! Mirslav was so knowledgeable and warm and we learned lots about Korçula and its surrounding islands. We had time to snorkel and stop at remote beaches which was so fun.

We had awesome kayak tour with Damir who is very thoughtful and skilled guide. He also had great recommendations for rest of our trip on the island of Korčula.

We had a blast! Knowledgeable staff and flexibility with quality touring kayaks. I hate nothing more than getting stuck in a bad boat for hours on my vacation - Korcula Outdoor rented us comfortable, well-performing boats and helped us pick a route that was fun, safe, and beautiful. I would happily rent from them again. Special thanks to Damir and Mislav for making everything work seamlessly.

Very nice and clean beach with a gorgeous view and colours, water is crystal clear and great for scuba diving/snorkling. Pebble beach, so swimming shoes and a comfy sun mattress are recommended. The drive is an interesting experience, down a long and narrow-cornered way but safe when driven carefully. Be aware for other cars coming, not too many spots for passing by. Lots of parking space, different costs depending on the area you park, it's 7-10 euros for the whole day. Quite an easy access down to the beach. The first you find are stairs going down, but there is also a concrete ramp further along the way that leads to the beach. I recommend to come earlier for best spots, the beach gets quite crowded along the day and the beach is appearently popular among families (not maybe the most quiet spot therefore) and is kid friendly. Sun decks and parasol cost 25 euros, if wanted. The beach has two restaurants, we visited the beach twice and tested both of them. Each different, but both very nice and offer good food.

This beach is a drive down a windy long road, but worth it. We arrived from the new road which is gravelly, parked up early at 9.30 at the front had got some beds on the beach. It’s €7 for parking not €10 anymore and €25 per twin beds and a brolly, that’s if you want them, there is space to sit on the beach for no cost(other than parking). We liked it as it had a nice restaurant and could spend all day here without faffing on bringing packed lunch. The beach and sea and views are worth it. The small boats pull up and there is plenty of space for a SUP board. Water shoes are useful not necessarily needed, but next time I would bring a comfy mattress for the wooden slatted beds, they are not the comfiest. I give it a four, a little harsh really we visited twice during our stay and I would go back but 6 of us for beds is costly and the meal was great first time and average the second. The beach though I love.

Easy access with car, steps to beach nice access, beach is with small to medium stones and sand at moments but reare. 4 is overated but due to natural beauties I need to leave 4. From the moment you come to beach steps guy takes 10 eur for parking, after that they charge 30 eur for beach seat for seating and sun protection "optional"... but most of beach is covered with this sets. Not good is nature behing your back not even tried to look clean and tidy with no trash bucket on whole beach. My question is if you are selling drinks food sun sets and charging parking why somebody is not responsible for putting trash bin in and clean it on daily basis

Perfect beach with clear blue water, not too crowded. Has a couple restaurants and the option to pay for sunbeds (around 30 euros for 2). Easy to park a car and access the beach too. Only improvement is that the parking is 10 euros, which is ridiculous for a Public beach. Other beaches in the island also have parking, but for free.

Great beach to spend the day at. I highly recommend bringing goggles and a snorkel to view all of the fish and sea life. By the rocks at the side there are very colourful fish. There's a Pepper & Choco gelato stand which is open until around 18:00 (around sunset). There is ample parking as well as a beach bar and a restaurant. Great for the family.

Beautiful nature, nice pebble beach, clear water, not overly crowded even now end of July. Parking available for 8 or 10 Euros (depending on how close you park).

The beach is big and water is very clear. In september it's not that busy.Umbrellas and sun laungers are 30€... There are 3 parking spots the longest walk is 8€/day medium 10€/day and the closest one is 7€/day.

Small beach, which isn't the cleanest (water is perfect), beside a coffee bar with a nice view

Banje Beach in Korčula Town is a small pebble beach located near the old town, offering convenient access for visitors. The beach is popular among locals and tourists, providing opportunities for swimming and snorkeling in clear waters. However, some visitors have noted that the beach can become crowded during peak times, and the shaded areas may have some litter. There are several cafes and restaurants nearby, allowing for easy access to refreshments without the need to venture far from the beach. While the beach lacks extensive infrastructure, such as showers and public toilets, its proximity to the town center and the availability of nearby amenities make it a practical choice for a beach day. Visitors should be cautious of sea urchins and consider wearing water shoes when entering the sea. Overall, Banje Beach offers a convenient and enjoyable spot for relaxation and swimming in Korčula Town.

Enchanting little pebble beach, with crystal clear waters! Make sure you have your swim shoes. Close to Korcula old town, it can be busy at peak hours. Limited amenities, but a place to change available. Restaurants, café's, and rental surf shop just a stone's throw away. We loved swimming here early mornings and late afternoons!

There isn't much in terms of infrastructure and the shaded areas are a little dirty with refuse. However the water is incredibly clear.

A bit crowded but really clean.

A smaller beach, but we found a spot and were happy with it. After island hopping and visiting Lumbarda, we wanted to stay close to our Airbnb and this was the best option within walking distance. Shade is only on the concrete, we sat on the beach, enjoyed the full sun and later went into the shade. The beach was clean, the water was beautiful, and no urchins.

Nice probably beach, not too busy.

Awesome low traffic beach. Go west if too much garbage washed up. There are good places

Paradise on earth. A few minutes walk from city center. Great view of old town.

Small but lovely beach with views over old town. It may be full at busy times In which case there are rocks to sit on nearby with easy access to the sea.

Great for a quick morning dip, crazy-blue water with the best views of the Korčula Old Town.

Small beach not far from the old center of Korcula. We went around 9AM for a morning swim and it was empty. Wouldn’t advise to go there for an entire day but if you want a quick swim, it’s perfect! Don’t forget your sea shoes as the beach is made of pebbles.

Beautiful promenade for strolling. The water is unbelievably clear and blue. There are lots of benches to have a sit and enjoy the scenery. Its also very accessible for swimming, but, don't forget to wear your water shoes.

Detail from the beach. Nobody cleans the beach. There are lots of glass and broken ceramics.

A small but popular beach that consists of a pebbly beach and a number of piers. Scenic location right next to medieval walled town. Always full of luxury yachts, but also some locals' boats. Cruise ships put in here as well.

The tedeschi pizza is one of the best I have ever had. I have never had cream on pizza before and it was a nice combination!

Nice beach, some jetties you can jump and dive off and some benches/small walls to sit on.

Don't put your money in the shower, it'll take your money and do nothing.

... beatiful view in The Old town

Very nice old town-beach!

Close to city and lot of maestral

The service was outstanding, the food an absolute delight, and the atmosphere felt like traveling back in time. Everything was perfect. The fish was incredibly fresh, and Adrian’s attention couldn’t have been better, we truly felt at home, away from home. Even though we had to wait a bit longer for the big fish, they went above and beyond by offering us extra appetizers and dessert. They treat you like family. Highly recommended, 100%!

Very nice place. Food was wonderful. Service was excellent. We did not have a reservation on the terrace, however the owner himself managed to find us a nice table. We will be back again before end of the holiday. Would love to try to grilled squid and shrimps!

We had a lovely dinner sitting out on the terrace. The waitstaff were so kind and personable! The food was incredible. We had charcoal grilled white fish which might be the best fish I’ve ever had! Also very good were the fish burek and the vegetable risotto !

Its a very nice restaurant with an great terrace. The food was amazing all our orders were delicious. We especially want to thank so much our great waiter Jakov for his amazing quick service, smiling face and kindness 🙏🏻😍

Truly, an amazing lunch with the freshest snapper, langoustine, beef, carpaccio, and green salad with local tomatoes. The Poship white wine was incredible.

Very good and delicious food! I highly recommend the Adriatic mixed platter, one of the best dish I’ve ever eaten🍤

This is an amazing restourant. Service is perfect but the fish dish is even better! Terace is amazing because you in the middle of Korčula town surrounded with st. Marko's church and Marco Polo's birthhouse. I love this place to eat because they do amazing food, serve great wine and give fantastic service.

Korčula is a beautiful place with a lot to offer, and overall, I had a good experience. It's definitely on the expensive side, but that's expected for a touristic destination. The scenery is stunning, and the town has a charming atmosphere that makes it worth visiting. One downside was the overly aggressive approach of many sellers—especially in the more crowded areas. Even when you're just walking by or have already said no multiple times, they keep trying to offer you things, which can get frustrating and ruin the relaxed vibe. That said, there are some great spots with more reasonable prices—you just have to explore a bit and avoid the obvious tourist traps. With some patience, you can find genuinely good places to eat or shop without being harassed. Despite the downsides, I’d still recommend visiting. Just go in knowing what to expect and be ready to hunt for the hidden gems.

A beautiful walk up the stairs and through the Town gate. As the tower was closed I did walked upto a certain point and admired the view, but also to see the gate from the other side, which it has got some I interested details like the cannot with the cannon balls,the coat of arms and the soldier helmet at the centre.

Simply magical old town with its impressive gate to enter, it's narrow streets, many stairs, different shops with sometimes original galleries, charming restaurants and cafes. What a throwback in time !

We were visiting at the morning time and wasn't to cruaudy. Nice old Marco Polo town with own soul and of course long history. No entrance fee , just if you scale up to entering tower it is 3 eur for adults.

I would recomend this as a place to visit if you are history lover. If you can get a tour because you will find out cool things about the city.

Very nice looking city gate and stair case up. The light is better around midday.

Great visit for all most visitors love a great picture some young one require lots and possed alot young and full of them self's. Lol.

A nice sandy beach with few facilities. It can be reached by public bus in about 20 minutes from Korcula followed by a 5 minute walk. There is a reasonable large car park. It has a relatively nice view. I had read elsewhere that it was good for snorkeling but was a bit disappointed as not much to see.

Perfect little spot in Lumbarda, Korcula. Sandy beach, which was perfect for kids, it is an easy slope into the deep about 15/20m before it’s a bit deeper for the kids. I highly recommend this place while staying on the island.

The reason I like this beach is simple - it’s great for kids as you are not worried for any accident - they can walk for almost 100m and still they can touch ground. 2nd reason - water is clean and it has sand in which, surprisingly does not make water dirty. 3rd reason is that you can snorkel but you have to go over border for swimmers which is dangerous, but i saw many mussels and also 2 octopus. 4th reason is bar at the beach - it’s just great, especially staff there is really nice and prices are normal for 2021

Very beautiful and secluded, but the beach itself is very very small with very limited sandy spots to lay a towel.Also there is only one small vendor on this side of the peninsula for drinks/food. A little difficult to find on bike as well.

Nice sandy beach a bit cowded. Sunbeds and parasols at 6 euro!! Bar and toilets available. Nice undeep water with sandy bottom great for kids!

Clear water and clean sand. Good beach overall

An interesting sandy beach. It was okay, but not astonishing. Be prepared that there is no shade there (parasols can be rented). The parking at the beach costs EUR 5.

The beach is beautiful, there is no denying it, crystal clear water, smooth rounded stones, but getting there is GRUELLING! There are a few signs that guide you and after some time you're on your own. There isn't a sign that says that you have to stop at one point, get out of the car and continue on foot. We figured that out after seeing some other tourists by chance. The way there is 45min of driving through WORST ROAD IMAGINABLE. It's barely fit for a car, maybe for a jeep. You are going to wreck your suspension and your tires if you drive more than 10km/h. And through that all the time you have suspense of not knowing exactly if you're going the right way. Visit if you're up for a (frustrating) adventure and have a rented car which you won't mind wrecking.

Calm and secluded, perfect for late afternoon sun. Typical, for the region, approach road, just drive slowly, there are plenty of passing slots!

The beach is beautifull but not worth the ride. The water is clear, clean and greenish. But the stones, and the entrwnce to the water not so good. The worst theing about this beach is the road to it. You will drive more then 2 km on very dirty and bad road. If you love your car you will druve less then 10 km/h otherwise damage is incoming. And there is no sign that tells you where to stop, that you are at the destination, you have to figure that on yor own There are plentY other beaches to go, for example Zitna ( even it is further from old town Korcula you will get there faster )

Small little beach on the west side of Korčula island, very private and quiet. There are 1-10 houses. I haven’t noticed any restaurants. Pebble beach.

The car ride is quite stressful (lots of sharp stones and risk of having to do tricky maneuvers if another car approaches on the narrow road), but doable if you drive really slowly. The beach is peaceful and lovely and has natural shadow, so you can relax there for hours. Our greatest concern was the large number of jellyfish in the water (which is probably temporary).

Beautiful! If you want to spend some peaceful time, this is a great place to do so.

Great beac and very clear water !

Drove then hiked from the beginning of the pathway at Smrc Simunovo. Pebbled beach with littled shade. Pretty nice but nothing special. Not really worth the hike and potential demage to your car. Best to visit via boat.

The beach is nice, isolated, but certainly better to reach it by boat. The walk through the "jungle" left us with serious scratches from the vines and trees, and the stones are not very stable. In many places you have to duck to be able to pass. Certainly the path was not maintained. And way longer than what was advertised (20-25min; 15min maybe if running. 25min up). A shorter path may have been taken, but more steep as well. Debateable if really worth the hike. On the beach there are no services (toilet/water/shower/shops/shade/etc), but there is a family restaurant close by. The beach has large pebbles, quite painful to walk barefoot. Gets deep in 3-4m. Small boats can come to the shore. Tour boats randomly show up in the distance, not approaching the shore (saw 3 the whole day). We were alone for the whole day on this beach, except for about 10min when a family boat approched, laid the anchor, but then decided not to stay.

This beach is perfect for who like a hike and then take a refreshing dive in the sea. You will have to walk about 20 mins down (and 25 mins up) on a narrow path in a lot of sun. It is debatable whether it is worth it or not. The beach is small and because of the hike, it is quiet with not many people. Snorkeling is very nice and there is a small restaurant nearby. However the sight is not unique to this beach and the same can probably be found easier. The hike does give it its charm!

Hike down is very steep and stoney you need good shoes. Also the street is not the best

A place to rest and reset from stress. Quiet and peaceful, as if not from this time and from this world. We wandered accidentally to that place and were enchanted by what we saw.

Nice beach, clear water, no crowd, no waves and no wind. I do recomend bringing the shade, and better shoes than flipflops (because of the path).Also there is a family run restaurant which serves delicious food.

Realy nice beach with no people. It is quite hard to get there, about 20 minutes walk from the car but it is worth it.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We just stayed at this villa, I cannot describe how spacious the yard is, perfect for family. You will find just about anything that you need there. It’s way better than pictures! P.S. old town Korcula is 3 minutes away!

Stunning! The most amezing place we ever stayed in! House is at the see, there is big yard with big pool and panoramic view! Villa is perfectly clean, and old town is about 5min walk. See you next year!😎

Very pleasant 2-week stay in Villa, the staff was very helpful and answered all our questions. Very big heated pool, sea next to the house and big grill area are only one of the cool features! The distance to the Korcula City + 3 electric scooters makes it easy to get around town.

Suberb location right on water, 5 min walk to Korcula. Fabulous outdoor living ...pool, games, outdoor kitchen. We went with our 3 adult children and their partners. We all loved it.

Best holidays ever. A beautiful house in a perfect location near the center. All necessary facilities, very clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend it.

Beautiful villa! This picture will be enough to convey the beauty and comfort of my stay 😍

One the best and most beautiful vacation ever. see you next year

A tour longer than 3 hours, with 2 swim stops on beaches with clearest water I ever swam in. At the end we were taken to the vinery where the owners son let us try 4 different types of vine, 2 different jams, 3 types of honey, cheese, local prosciutto and liquor with explaining how everything was made. Best 70€ ever spent on a tour!! 10/10 recommended

Definitely a strong recommendation if you like adventure! Value for money is great, you visit a big chunk of Korčula, take a swim in beautiful beaches, all while having Ivan as your guide who is awesome and friendly 😃 Ivan will tell you a bit more about the island, and also take you to try local wine called Grk. Oh yeah, did i forgot to mention that the lunch is included 😁😁

We had a fantastic day! The buggies were extremely fun to ride, definitely must do if you are visiting Korcula!

Great way to see the countryside of Korcula and get some information about the island. Also lovely homemade food and drinks served at the end of the tour.

Good value for the money

(Translated by Google) Can't recommend it. First the appointment was canceled and when we went to the second appointment we were forgotten and we waited in the heat for 40 minutes before we left. This is not how you treat paying customers. (Original) Kann es nicht weiterempfehlen. Erst wurde der Termin abgesagt und als wir beim zweiten Termin hin sind, wurden wir vergessen und wir haben 40 Minuten in der Hitze gewartet, bis wir dann gegangen sind. So geht man nicht mit zahlenden Kunden um.

(Translated by Google) The walk is nice but ends 1 hour early to go and taste wine and honey. The products are very expensive, the seller tells me that the little jars of honey go through the airport, which is not true. All our pots were confiscated. The activity advertises 4 hours of buggy riding which is also false, it barely lasts 3 hours! In short, choose another provider or negotiate firmly. Too expensive for the service really! (Original) La promenade est sympa mais se termine 1 heure plus tôt pour aller déguster des vins et du miel. Les produits sont très chers, le vendeur m affirme que les petits pots de miel passe à l aéroport ce qui est faux. Tous nos pots ont été confisqués. L activité annonce 4 heures de buggy ce qui est faux aussi cela dure à peine 3 heures ! Bref, choisissez un autre prestataire ou ne négociez fermement. Trop cher pour la prestation vraiment !

(Translated by Google) Avoid, I advise against, the prices are excessively expensive for such a short time. The manager is not at all friendly, I strongly advise against it. (Original) À fuir, je déconseille, les prix sont excessivement chers pour si peu de temps. Le gérant n'est pas du tout aimable, je déconseille fortement.
