Slano is best known within Croatia for its long, sheltered bay on the Adriatic Sea. Set on the mainland coast of Dubrovnik-Neretva County, the settlement follows the water's edge rather than the island-studded open sea typical of much of Dalmatia. Its protected harbour gave Slano a practical role in the maritime world of the Republic of Ragusa, while stone houses and the Rector's Palace recall Dubrovnik's historic administration of the area. The coast runs towards the Pelješac Peninsula, with olive groves and Mediterranean vegetation rising behind the shore.
