Orebić

Orebić, on the southern coast of the Pelješac Peninsula, has a strip of lovely little beaches, some sandy and some shingly, bordered by groves of tamarisk and pine. Its waterfront is lined with houses and exotic gardens built by the sea captains who made the town prosperous in the 18th century. Only 2.5km across the water from Korčula Town, it makes a perfect day trip or an alternative base.
