The Beach
The beach of Stara Luka is a small shingle and pebble pocket beach in the harbour's inner corner, between the town's east edge and the saddle of the Glavica.
Overview
- 61 m long and 12 m deep, a crescent along its waterline.
- A berm at Y 0.4–1.2, the swash to −0.3, then a gentle shelf to −2.5 m within 25 m, so the water is turquoise over pale pebbles.
- A pocket beach forms where a gully's torrent brings shingle into a sheltered corner; this is the calmest water in the harbour.
Life
Three boats pulled up on the berm, nets drying on poles at both ends, a limestone outcrop at each end with sea fennel and sea lavender in the cracks, one or two tamarisks at the back edge, and no plants on the pebbles.
Access
A 7-second walk from the riva's east end, and the shore path to the cemetery runs behind it.
History of the design
The director asked on 2026-09-29: "also add the beach in the town, but dont change something in the town for the beach". Not a single building, lane or square moved for it.
