Pasjaca beach in the Konavle region near the southern Dalmatian city of Dubrovnik was named the best beach in Europe in 2019 by the European Best Destinations travel portal, taking the top spot among destinations such as those in Spain, Greece, and France.
Connecting tourism offices from all over the continent, the Brussels-based European Best Destinations is an organisation that aims to promote culture and tourism in Europe. Hundreds of thousands of visitors and travellers vote every year in the organisation’s online competitions to choose the best destinations in Europe.
Pasjaca beach is located at the foot of a cliff, some 15-minute drive from the town of Cavtat.
“In 1955, a tunnel was created from the fields upstream (often flooded) to the sea. The remaining rocks were used to build the roads or were left on the seaside. In a few years the waves transformed these rocks into pebbles then into sand. Pasjaca beach was born. After a few years the sea took away all the sand and the locals carried new rocks that turned into pebbles and sand again. They will do that again and again to preserve their little paradise. “Pasjaca beach”, the most beautiful beach in Europe, is the result of both man and nature’s work,” the portal wrote, tportal reported on Monday.
Second place went to the Nerja beach in the Spain’s region of Andalusia, while another Croatian beach, the Nugal beach in the southern Makarska Riviera, was voted third most beautiful in Europe. This beach, popular among naturists because of its secluded location (reaching the beach requires a 30-minute walk through the lush Osejava Park), which provides privacy and peace.

Amazing holiday!
We had a lovely time in Villa Pendo. The villa was amazing, beautiful, and clean. It is perfect for relaxing by the pool and enjoying other facilities the villa has to offer such as the terras. The owner, Pero, was extremely nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend booking Villa Pendo for a guaranteed perfect holiday!
Maison idéale pour une famille avec enfants !
Le séjour était absolument parfait. La maison est magnifique (chaque chambre a sa propre salle de bain) et l’extérieur avec la piscine aussi (cuisine extérieur, transats…). Rien à redire, tout était pardait. Pero et sa femme ont été géniaux, gentils, agréables, prévenants. Nous avons passé la semaine avec ma famille dont 2 bébés de moins de 2 ans et ils ont fait en sorte que nous ayons tous le nécessaire pour le confort des enfants (lits, transat, chaise haute…). Je recommande à 100%.
