Neum is resort town in Bosnia and Herzegovina located on Adriatic sea coast. It is, in fact, the only seaside resort in Bosnia and Herzegovina. All motor traffic between the Croatian towns of Ploče in the north and Dubrovnik in the south passes what has been known as the Neum corridor, a 9 km long stretch of Bosnia-Herzegovinian territory. Sometimes your passports are checked, sometimes not. Around 92% of the population is ethnically Croatian.

With its long and warm summers, and short and mild winters, Neum is considered to be one of the coastal towns which has the greatest number of sunny days in the year.
