Interesting town plus nearby beach, near Split please
 
We are looking for a fairly low-key day, as we have a busy week of activities booked.

We are looking, ideally, for an interesting town to walk around (perhaps with a market?), plus a nearby beach.

We’ve done Trogir, followed by nearby labadusa beach. Which we loved, it was a good balance of walking around the market and then cooling down on the beach.

Any suggestions of anywhere similar? Ideally not much more than a 30-40 minute drive (we're staying in Kastel Sucurac, just north of Split)

Thanks!!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I was trying to find somehwere on the mainland as we're taking a boat to Hvar on Thursday...

Have you visited Split? The market there is amazing, and obviously it’s a very interesting place to walk around. And you can go to Bačvice beach after.

Thank you. Yes, I should have said we’ve already been to split. But not to Bacvice beach, so maybe we’ll check that out!

Also Firule beach! Maybe a bit less urban.

nice beaches down in Dugi Rat but no town with any major market that I know of. Omiš is there, and is lovely, but not much in a way of a market.

Can't offer suggestions as my trip is next month, but could you share any tips/experiences in Trogir? We are renting a home there for 10 days.

Robert, I can’t offer that much help either as we only went to Trogir once. We went to Labadusa beach on ciovo (the island adjacent), which my kids enjoyed as the water was so still and gorgeous. We didn’t go to the beaches on the other side (okrug Gornji beach) which I believe are quite popular.

Trogir is well placed to access lots though! We enjoyed Krka park,
