Grljevac Beach is situated in the town of Podstrana, located within the Split-Dalmatia county of Croatia. The town, a series of coastal settlements, lies about 10 kilometers south of Split and 14 kilometers north of Omis. This beach is a part of the settlements that emerged with the growth of the tourism industry and the construction of the Adriatic highway during the 20th century.
Grljevac Beach itself stretches for several kilometers and is characterized by white gravel beaches, providing ample shade and beach bars along a pleasant promenade. The eastern part of Podstrana, "Mutogras," is a popular spot for windsurfing, with equipment available for rent. Other water sports activities, including kayaking, diving, and boat rentals, are also offered. The western part of Podstrana houses the "Le Meridien Lav" hotel, which provides various services like pools, tennis courts, a wellness center, conference facilities, a marina, a casino, restaurants, bars, and a children's playground.

The beach provides a range of amenities including sunbeds and umbrellas for rent, a changing room, a shower, and a fountain with drinking water. For entertainment, there is a large inflatable for children and paddleboards available for rent. Stalls selling beach toys, food, and beverages can be found along the shore.
