Lučice
A 220-metre cove of golden sand between two pine headlands, a fifteen-minute walk from Petrovac and a Blue Flag site in 2026.
Our verdict
Lučice is the better of Petrovac’s two beaches and the locals treat it that way: fine golden-yellow sand, a shallow sandy bottom, cypress and pine down to the rocks on both sides, and an undeveloped hinterland that keeps it feeling like a cove rather than a resort. Sector 26A flew a Blue Flag in 2026, with a bar, loungers and showers in season. The walk over the headland from Petrovac is the point — short, scenic and enough to thin the crowd.
