Lokrum is an island in the Adriatic Sea located less than a kilometer off the coast of the city of Dubrovnik. The island can be reached by a 15-minute ferry service, which travels several times a day from Dubrovnik. The attractions include an inland saltwater lake, one of Croatia's many nudist beaches, and a Benedictine monastery. One of the most interesting things about Lokrum is that its only permanent residents are peacocks. The birds wander the island freely and may join you while relaxing on the many beautiful and peaceful beaches. The island has no cars and people are not allowed to spend the night, so it's easy to find a solitary stretch of shoreline to relax in peace.
