Marjan
This 3.5km- (2 mile-) long peninsula, rising west of the old town, is planted with pines and Mediterranean shrubs, and criss-crossed by a network of footpaths. The best sea views can be enjoyed from the southern slopes, following the path from Vidilica Café (above Varoš) to Bene recreation ground (on the tip of the peninsula).

Bačvice
This modest sand beach and concrete bathing area overlooking the shallow waters of Bačvice Bay is busy almost all year round, with locals swimming and playing picigin, a ball game unique to Split. A number of busy waterside cafes and bars offer outdoor seating with a sea view.
