Started off the day with brunch at 2pm. We went to a place called Bepo. Details can be found here:

Afterwards, we headed to a couple of beaches that were close by. The first one was Pokonji dol Beach. The beach was pretty busy, so we stayed on the side part of the beach where there were more rocks. The beach did have several restaurants, where I was able to get a pina colada to go (and it had real coconut in it). The restaurant was called Mustaco.
After an hour, checked out another beach for like 15 minutes called Strand Mekicevica. It was a tiny beach that I wouldn’t really recommend. Along the way though to that beach was an interesting restaurant that had a Cabana I would try out (it was called Pachamama beach).
During the walk to the first beach, I did notice several nice looking houses (see below for pics). They could easily be worth $7 million in LA.
After the beaches, I dropped of my laundry at a laundry service called Praonica-samaposluga. I thought the service was pretty good, but a bit pricey (160 kuna for a while load).
We then explored the old town area (see picture below for references). Checked out:
-Arsenal (a terrace with a good view)
-Trg Sv Stjepana (a town square)
-outside of St Stephen’s Cathedral
-Fortica (a castle on top of a hill). The view was alright, but not ask good as the view from the Napoleon fortress hike.
Afterwards, got dinner at Alviz. More info can be found here:
