With its sprawling coasts, rich fisheries and a major wine-growing industry, Pelješac is generating a buzz as a less-discovered alternative to Dubrovnik. Indeed, many pass over this peninsula, making their beeline straight for the ancient walled city. All the better for the locals who are drawn to Pelješac for its very lack of tourists, fine wines, long shingle beaches and the best mussels and oysters in Croatia.
