This information can help you plan the crossing as a separate part of your journey. No details about schedules or further connections are provided here, so you should check these separately when planning your specific trip. The ferry connection is a different point of reference from the local beaches and landscape destinations: it concerns the journey to Trpanj, while the places below offer different experiences during your stay.

If you would like to explore the municipality further, you can also visit the pages for Trpanj and Donja Vrućica. Other destinations in the same broader area include Općina Ston, Janjina and Orebić.

Both Pozora and Divna have shallow water suitable for children. Pozora is a pebble beach near the Hotel “Faraon.” In addition to natural shade, it has a beach bar and offers the option to rent recreational equipment. These features make it an option if you are looking for shade and amenities right on the beach.

Divna stands out for its sandy-pebble shore and its location 10 km from Trpanj in the direction of Duba. Its water is also shallow and suitable for children. If you would also like to visit a small settlement by the water, Duba, 13 km from Trpanj, is a small fishing village with a pebble beach by its harbour. Luka Beach, in turn, is at the eastern entrance to Trpanj, in the bay of the same name. These places differ in their locations and the beach features described for each.

The Lozica mountain hiking trail starts 3 km east of Trpanj in the direction of Orebić. Along the route, you’ll encounter varied vegetation, a spring with running water and sand dunes. These features give the trail a different character from the beaches; no trail length or walking time is specified.

The waterfront promenade and Blace Bay also shape the local landscape in different ways: the paved promenade ends above the bay, which is known for its healing mud deposits. Vučina Bay is also near Trpanj and was designated a significant landscape in 1975. This designation is a distinct historical point of reference for the surrounding area.

The people of Trpanj were among the first to retain the use of the Croatian language in commercial correspondence. This is a distinctive aspect of the town’s history, beyond its beaches and natural attractions.

The “Okusi Pelješca” culinary event was held on Thursday evenings during the summer months on the Riva in Trpanj, as well as in Gornja Vrućica and Duba Pelješka.
