Živogošće's main beach is a six-kilometre pebble strip running the length of the bay, backed by a continuous strip of pine and olive that drops to the water. The pebbles are smooth and small; the water shelves quickly and is unusually clear because the mountain backdrop prevents agricultural runoff. Sections in front of the larger hotels have rented sun-loungers; most of the rest of the beach is free.
Mala Duba, at the southern end of the village, is a small naturist beach reachable only by a path through the pines. The cove at the Vruja springs offers a striking contrast of cold freshwater and warm salt water in the same swim.
