Saltwater lake for swimming · Lokrum

Dead Sea (Mrtvo more)

A small, sheltered salt lake for swimming on the south side of Lokrum

About

The Mrtvo more, or Dead Sea, is a small saltwater lake on the south side of Lokrum, fed by the open sea through the rock, with calm, shallow edges and pebbles underfoot.

Travel bloggers describe swimming and floating here, or sitting beside it with a drink and watching the swimmers, and one counts it as a highlight of their time in Croatia. Visitors also say it fills up by midday, and a Croatian travel feature points families to its calm, warm water.

Where it is

Getting here

Add your accommodation (kept on this device only) and we show which city bus runs from near your stay to here, in the right direction.

Lines and directions come from OpenStreetMap route data, checked against the official Libertas city timetable (see also the network map). Departure times are only on the timetable. Distances are straight lines, not walking times; Street View opens Google's imagery where it exists, which may be old.
