Sipanska Luka's main beach is about 500m away from the harbour front, a tiny strip of sand pressed against a thread of rock that separates the western side of the bay from the sea. More isolated spots for bathing can be found by following the path which extends beyond the ferry jetty on the opposite side of the bay, threading its way between rocky shoreline and shady olive groves before petering out in dense undergrowth after a couple of kilometres.

Incoming ferries are often met by locals offering private rooms - if not, just ask around. Otherwise, the harbour front hotel, the Sipan (020/758-000, fax 758-004; April to mid-Oct, offers standard en-suites, of which the attic rooms on the top floor are the cosiest. Eating and drinking possibilities are limited to the hotel restaurant and the couple of bars nearby.

Heading south out of Sipanska Luka, the seven-kilometre walk to SUDURADJ takes you past some lovely inland scenery. Suduradj itself - little more than a clump of houses grouped around a bay - is overlooked by an imposing stone tower, all that remains of a summer palace belonging to the 16th century Dubrovnik ship-owner Vice Stjpovic Skocibuha. There is a bar by the old port, a restaurant/pizzeria and the local shop/supermarket.
