Of the other 117 beaches in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the sea at as many as 111 beaches has been rated as sea water of ​​outstanding quality. The sea water on the beaches of the Libertas Rixos Hotel in Dubrovnik, VK Cavtat in Konavle, Mlini in Župa dubrovačka and Uvala Luka in Trpanj was of good quality, while the sea water at the beaches of Šulić and Danče in the City of Dubrovnik was rated with a mere satisfactory rating.
