Lipci
A strip of pebbles and flat rocks below the prehistoric deer of Lipci, reached by a narrow concrete path, with clear water deep enough to dive into and nothing else at all.
Our verdict
This is the "hidden beach" of the Lipci guide: no name, no map symbol, a few metres of pebbles and flat rock below the rock-art site, and water the guide calls crystal-clear and deep enough to dive into from the rocks. The village itself has no hotel, no konoba and no shop, so the beach is exactly as empty as that sounds. Combine it with the drawings above — the reason most people stop at Lipci — and with Morinj, 1.7 km on, for lunch.

Know before you swim
- The way down is a narrow concrete path and then bare rock — decent shoes, and not a route for small children or bad knees
- Diving from the rocks: check the depth yourself every time — nothing is marked and nobody is watching
- Boats pass through this part of the bay from time to time; the shore is sheltered but not buoyed
- No shade, no water, no facilities of any kind: carry in everything and carry it out

Questions
- Where is the hidden beach at Lipci?
- Below the rock-art site, down a narrow concrete path from the roadside parking on the M-1. OpenStreetMap does not map it; our guide describes a strip of pebbles and a few flat rocks for sunbathing.
- Is the water deep?
- The guide says deep enough for diving from the rocks, though the hub describes clear shallow water off the village shore — check the depth yourself before any jump. The water reaches about 25 °C by August.
- Where is the nearest food, shop or campsite?
- Morinj, 1.7 km west: a shop, two autocamps, a beach with a bar in season and the restaurant Ćatovića Mlini at the old mills. Risan, 4.8 km east, has supermarkets and cash machines.
