Located right across from the Old Town, Lokrum is the nearest island to Dubrovnik and one of the most popular day trips in the area. The island is full of unique plant and animals species, such as peacocks and huge bunnies. There are plenty of family friendly gardens and beaches to explore with kids, and also a hidden nude beach for adults secluded from the crowds. Also, there is a legend that this island is haunted at night, so no one sleeps over on the island!
You can get here simply by taking any of the ferries from Dubrovnik’s Old Town harbor.
