The popular Medena Beach is named after the nearby three-star hotel.
This pebble beach stretches for 3 kilometers from Seget to Hotel Medena.

You can leave your car in the parking area (unfortunately, it is paid), and you can also reach the beach by sea – via a “taxi” boat from Trogir.

Party lovers and nightlife enthusiasts should definitely not miss Okrug Beach, or Copacabana as some call it due to its popularity and the large number of restaurants, bars, and cafes lining the coast.
Okrug Beach is located on the western coast of the island of Čiovo and stretches for two kilometers. Thanks to its fine pebbles, entertainment options, and dense shade provided by pine trees, the beach is also ideal for families with children.
Kava Beach Slatina
Kava Slatine Beach is located on the eastern part of Čiovo Island. Unlike other beaches on our list, there is only one bar here, so it's advisable to bring your own food and drinks.
This half-pebble, half-rock beach stands out for its surrounding untouched nature, as it lies in an uninhabited part of the island.
Despite its remote location, Kava Slatine Beach can get crowded during the summer months. You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas or simply move your towel under the shade of the pine trees.
