Three grades: sandy Bačvice east of the harbour, nearest and most popular (its shallows home of the local picigin game) — pine-fringed Kašjuni on Marjan, the finest water, with café — and family Bene with shade and jumps on the hill's north. The Dalmatian rule: sea shoes for children — beaches run pebble and rock.

Marjan is Split's sacred lung: the pine-forest peninsula closing the city's western horizon — the emperor's garden since Diocletian and a town preserve since the fourteenth century: building on it is banned by law, keeping it wild in the city's face. Its gate is the Sperun stair from the town's heart: ten climbing minutes to the Vidilica terrace and its café — the postcard view: palace, tower and harbour directly below — the path continuing to Telegrin peak (178m) with its flag and the complete panorama: islands south, the Mosor range behind. Its south is rock coast and swimming: the bays of Kašjuni and Bene, the city's favourite beaches in pine-filtered water — with medieval hermits' churches cut into the southern rock (St. Jerome's most famous) — and the Meštrović Gallery of the great sculptor on its shore road. A bicycle rounds its loop in an hour — and Telegrin's sunset is Split's golden rite.
