About
Danče is a rocky bathing spot in a small bay below Gradac park, west of Pile Gate, with concrete ledges and ladders down into deep, clear water.
Travel bloggers who swam here found it calm and uncrowded even in high summer and liked how easy the deep water makes it to get in. Visitors on Tripadvisor recommend it for swimming and snorkelling, though there is no sand and one visitor left unhappy.
