This beach has beautiful fine-grained sand, and it is very shallow. There are many cafes and places to eat ice cream. It is certainly not the best beach in Croatia (it is packed solid most of summer), but it will give you a feeling of 'real' Croatia as the vast majority of people who go there are from Split. You can also play Picigin here. To reach this beach, walk South along the waterfront from the bus station and then follow the road that crosses the railway line.

St. Duje's cathedral
Built around 305 AD as a mausoleum of Roman emperor Diocletian's (the oldest cathedral building in the world). The cathedral is also a very beautiful mixture of Roman temple and Catholic church. It also has a beautiful belltower which provides you a great panoramic view of Split, nearby islands and Marjan hill.
