Staying in Babin Kuk on Dubrovnik's outer peninsula
The useful detail in Babin Kuk is where your hotel entrance sits relative to the shore paths and bus turning points. A property can face the sea while requiring a longer route to public beach access. Check which paths connect through the grounds and which facilities are reserved for guests. Allow time to learn the walking routes before relying on a shortcut after dark.
