Bellevue Beach

This guide to Bellevue Beach in Dubrovnik covers the one week each summer when this quiet pebble cove turns into a stadium for the Wild League, an amateur water polo tournament with roots reaching back to 1922. You'll hear how neighborhood beaches across the coast, from Dance to Porporela to Sulic, field their own clubs, and how this cove's team, nicknamed Bellevue Ninety, built its own reputation in the tournament's history. There's no ticket booth or grandstand, just the same stone steps down from the cliffside hotel that spectators still use today. Stand right at the waterline to hear the players as the locals do.
