Hidden below high cliffs, Pasjača is one of Dalmatia's most beautiful beaches, with intensely blue and green water lapping at a pebbly shore. It's a little hard to find; head to Popovići and then follow your nose along the narrow village road, keeping an eye out for the few signs pointing the way. From the parking area, a path heads along sheer cliffs and partially through tunnels carved through the rock.
