Counting the waves…
Counting the waves…
The walk from Makarska's old town follows a seaside path lined with oleander and wild fig, curving past villa gardens until the crowds thin and the sound of crunching pebbles replaces café chatter. Biloševac sits where the coastal promenade yields to a less manicured shore, its beach a mosaic of white and gray stones smoothed by centuries of Adriatic churn. Families anchor their umbrellas here by mid-morning, coolers wedged between beach bags, while toddlers test the shallows where minnows flash silver. The water deepens gradually, its temperature a few degrees warmer than the open stretches near the jetty, sheltered by the gentle curve of the cove. Biokovo's limestone cliffs rise directly behind, their karst flanks streaked with scrub oak and the occasional goat trail. By late afternoon, the mountain throws a wedge of shadow across the western third of the beach, a natural cue for sunbathers to migrate east or pack up entirely. A handful of seasonal konobas operate from the roadside above, their grills scenting the air with squid and raznjici by noon. You won't find jet-ski rental kiosks or beach clubs with house music—just a line of pebbles, a fringe of shade, and enough elbow room to claim a spot without negotiating territory.

Biloševac Beach is family-friendly and generally safe. The pebble shoreline slopes gently into clear, calm water ideal for children, though water shoes are recommended for comfort. Conditions are typically mild, especially in summer. While lifeguard presence varies by season, the beach's proximity to Makarska means help is nearby if needed. Families appreciate the quieter atmosphere compared to central Makarska beaches, with space to spread out. Supervise young children on pebbles and in the water as you would at any beach.
June and September offer the best balance of warm weather, swimmable sea temperatures, and fewer crowds at Biloševac. Early mornings or late afternoons in July and August provide pleasant conditions with less heat and more space, even during peak season. The beach's location west of Makarska's center means it stays calmer than the main town stretch year-round. Visiting on weekdays rather than weekends also reduces congestion. Spring and early autumn suit travelers seeking tranquility while still enjoying reliable Dalmatian sunshine.
Biloševac Beach is located on Makarska's western edge, easily reachable on foot or by car. From the town center, walk west along the coastal promenade for roughly 15–20 minutes, or drive and look for roadside parking near the beach. The route is flat and straightforward, following the main coastal road. Local buses running between Makarska and nearby villages also pass close by. Biking is another pleasant option, with the route offering sea views. Signage and the beach's visibility make it hard to miss.
While Biloševac Beach has limited on-site facilities, it's close enough to Makarska that restaurants, cafés, and shops are within a short walk or drive. A few seasonal beach bars or kiosks may operate nearby in summer. For full-service dining, head into Makarska center, about 15–20 minutes on foot, where you'll find diverse options from seafood restaurants to pizzerias and grocery stores. Accommodation ranges from hotels to private apartments, many within easy reach of Biloševac, making it convenient for daily visits.
Biloševac offers a quieter, more relaxed alternative to Makarska's bustling central beach strip, especially valuable in peak summer. Families and sunbathers appreciate the extra space and calmer vibe while still being close to town amenities. The pebble beach and scenic backdrop provide classic Dalmatian coastal beauty without the density of sunbeds, vendors, and crowds. It's ideal if you want easy access to Makarska's restaurants and services but prefer a more peaceful spot for swimming and sunbathing. A local favorite for good reason.
