About this audio guide
This guide to Copacabana Beach in Dubrovnik opens with a puzzle: why would a gray pebble beach tucked into Solitudo bay borrow the name of Rio de Janeiro's golden sands. It follows the smell of a beachside grill and the sweat on a cocktail glass through the longest stretch of shore in the city, where locals dodging the crowds at Banje beach mix with hotel guests and sunburned tourists. You will hear why the water here runs colder than almost anywhere else in Dubrovnik, fed by a river flowing in underground.
