Plaža Divna is a secluded pebble beach located on the northern coast of the Pelješac Peninsula in Croatia. It is distinguished by a small, vegetated islet reachable by wading through shallow, clear turquoise water. The beach is situated at the end of a deep, narrow bay framed by steep limestone hills. The coastline consists of small, white pebbles and sand, providing a gradual entry into the sea. There is no commercial development on the beach itself, maintaining a natural, rugged character. Access requires navigating a narrow, winding road that descends from the village of Donja Vrućica. The beach is exposed to northern winds, which can affect wave conditions. Natural shade is limited to the periphery under sparse Mediterranean shrubbery. The water is notably clear due to the lack of surrounding infrastructure and light boat traffic.
