Things to Do  

Landscape

Landscape, Orebic

 solopes Says:  Being a peninsula, the long and narrow hill of Peljesac allows wide views in its western coast, dotted with several islands, and it seems a lagoon is its eastern side, with many fisheries. No matter where, the result is always spectacular, specially at sunset 

Peljesac's Coast

Peljesac's Coast, Orebic

 solopes Says:  Maybe with the help of the light effects in sunset, maybe because it is really wonderful, the Peljesac coast provided us the most spectacular views of Dalmatian Coast. We passed there three times, and the sensation was always great. 

Perna - Orebic Beach

Perna - Orebic Beach, Orebic

 Maggies Says:  The beach in Orebic Perna is not the nicest. It's either cement blocks or small stones. No sand and rocky beaches here. 

Winsurfing

 Maggies Says:  Once you are good at it, Orebic is a great place for windsurfing and there is a view of Korcula not to beat. 

Windsurfing

Windsurfing, Orebic

 Maggies Says:  The main activity for people coming to Orebic is windsurfing as the winds between Korcula island and Peljecas can get pretty strong. Usually the best wind can be caught in the late afternoon and those who know how to eat it make a real show then. Other times of the day the... 

Windsurfing school

 Maggies Says:  There is a windsurfing school in Orebic - Perna and few places renting out whole equipment. I payed 300 kn for the rent of the board and the sail for 5 hrs, which I could use any time. 

How to start

How to start, Orebic

 Maggies Says:  It's good to start learning windsurfing with somebody who can show you and teach you some. It will certainly go much better if you at least know what to do and then it's all about practice, practice, practice.

Coastal road in Peljasac

Peljesac is a long peninsula in the southern part of Croatia. Coming by car from the north you can either take the coastal path passing Bosnia and Hercegovina or shorten the way and take a ferry from Ploce to Trapanj. Then you can cross the mountains to get to Orebic which is on the other side of Peljesac.
Other way of getting here is the ferry or catamaran from Split. There is a catamaran Krilo going from Split to Korcula (stopping in Hvar) which takes 3 hrs, costs 50 kn and it's a very nice ride. Then it's only 15 min boat ride from Korcula to Orebic.

Cash is cheaper

It seems to be more expensive to shop using credit cards, so if you carry cash, you can get by cheaper. Listed prices are usually for cash and they sometimes add 2-5% for credit cards.

Getting cash is easy - there is a number of ATM (cash stations) in Orebic and my Bank One banking card from Chicago works in all of them and throughout Croatia just fine, so I stopped carrying Travellers Checks years ago.

 solopes Says:  We really didn't visit Orebic - we just arrived there by boat, to our final travel inland towards Dubrovnick. It is the biggest town in the peninsula, and, for sure, a good start point to the marvelous views along it.
