The experience
A white-shingle cove 380 metres below the 4,000-year-old hilltop village of Lubenice, reachable only by a precipitous goat path or by boat — once ranked among the world's 40 finest beaches.
The 50-minute scramble down (and back up) keeps all but the determined away.

It's only worth the detour Jun–Sep. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
