In-Depth Information
It's easiest to go back down the way you came. But for a longer hike, continue down the
stairs at the far end of the view terrace, and follow signs for
Crkva sv. Jere.
This path takes
you along the length of the peninsula, mostly through trees (read: no views). A series of
switchbacks leads back down to the main road running along the perimeter of Marjan; from
here, you can turn left to get back to town or right for an even longer walk around the far
end of Marjan.
The peninsula also has a pair of good beaches (Ježinac and Bene, described next).
Hitting the Beach
Since it's more of a big city than a resort, Split's beaches aren't as scenic (and the water not
as clear) as small towns elsewhere along the coast. Save your Split time for big-city sights
and culture, and hit the beach in smaller towns. However, if the weather's great and you
want to go for a dip, here are a few ideas.
The beach that's most popular—and crowded—is
Ba

vice,
in a pebbly cove just a short
walk east of the main ferry terminal. As it's very shallow, it's especially popular with kids.
