In the days of the Republic of Dubrovnik Lopud had its own fleet and shipyard. The village stretches along a wide bay on the north-west coast, with a Franciscan monastery on the headland and a park full of exotic plants. A path of about twenty minutes leads across the island to Šunj.

Šunj on the south-east side is one of the few sandy bays in the Dubrovnik area, with a bathing area that is roped off in summer. You anchor outside the barrier, on sand. The bay is open to the south-east, so it is unusable in jugo. Off the village of Lopud you anchor in the bay or berth on the short quay.

    A popular swimming bay with a sandy beach and a bathing area that is roped off in summer, inside which you do not anchor. Anchor in 5 to 10 m, on sand with weed, where the holding is patchy. It is open to the south-east: leave as soon as the wind shifts to the south. The head of the bay, towards the beach, is very shallow.
