Slovenia doesn't really have much bouldering anywhere. Osp / Misca Pec sport climbing is really near the coast, but it would be very hot in the summer. Also there isn't actually that much Slovenian coast line and the beaches aren't great.

Croatia is a much better option for beaches and beautiful coast line. Loads of rock and sport climbing / DWS, I've no idea about bouldering though sorry. I've been to the Istria region in the North which is stunning, particularly Premantura south of Pula. Some good 'unknown' sport crags in the area with some info on line if you look around. I don't know about further south, it's a big coastline!

Hope that is of some help

Ditto - Not sure Slovenia has any beach-side climbing (having only a sliver of coastline), but you should be able to find some nice lake-side bits?

For Croatia - Omis was a nice(ish) sports crag, in a pretty town town between Split and Dubrovnik with access to a beach and some restaurants (MEAT/FISH/GRILL - the only options it seems...) nearby.

Lake-side beach at Paklenica, but the gorge and beach are pretty far apart....

Google throws up a couple of suggestiosn like this http://www.nautilus-bay.com/en/activities-trips/bouldering/ . I hitched the (then) Yugoslavia coast before I was a climber and recall a rocky coastline interspersed with bays of sandy white beaches with limestone walls and boulders around them, might be a case of seek and find?

Not what you are asking about but Corsica has some descent beach bouldering and is a very nice summer holiday destination for combining beaches and swimming with mountains and rocks. There is thread on here which lists some and there is also a Corsica bouldering guide which covers a few spots..

 It is a tad busy in early august...

Go to "penjališta" and you should find a few dws spots... Čiovo is the best one with lot of potential. Also access is fairly easy,

not sure about beach bouldering though  :shrug:
