I am visiting Croatia in June; Split, Dubrovnik, Hvar and Korcula. Is renting a car a must or will I be ok Ferry hopping and walking from old town Dubrovnik to the beaches?
I don’t think you need a car really. The places are well connected by bus and ferry services. You can walk from old town Dubrovnik, but you won’t find many good beaches quite close to it. It would be better to go on a one day trip to any of the Elaphiti Islands: Koločep, Šipan or Lopud.

For bigger islands such as Hvar and Korčula, you can always hop on a ferry, in fact, you’ll have to:-) There are catamarans too, and they are usually quite frequent, every half hour or so:

One of Croatia’s greatest attractions is its beaches. Wonderful beaches line the Adriatic coast and islands. These abound with natural harbours, beautiful bays and ports. There is over 1000 miles of seaside to choose from and over 1000 islands if you get bored of the mainland beaches.
Starting in the north of the country, the Istria region has great wind surfing areas. The old fishing village of Savudrija is the entrance to the Umag Riviera. This sia good place for the more skilled and experienced windsurfer. The area near the lighthouse, which is the oldest in the Adriatic, is a popular gathering place. There are northerly (Bura) and southerly (Jugo) winds. The Jugo makes big waves and the Bura will blow you away towards Italy if you are not careful!
Travelling south to Northern Dalmatia, The Riviera of Crikvenica is ideal for the family.The area has wide bays and the beaches are either sandy or gravel. The city of Crikvenica has a long beach where it is possible to hire bicycles and boats. It is linked to Dramalj by road and also a promenade of about 3 km. This is an ideal beach for children because of its shallow waters.
Further south in Central Dalmatia is the city of Split, the second largest city in the country. Its history dates back some 1700 years. It is very beautiful with many historical and archaeological monuments including the Palace of Diocletian. The main waterfront is called the Riva and this is a lively area. A place to promenade, watch and be watched; to relax and drink coffee on the open-air terraces.
Split is also the main transit centre for the Dalmatian islands. The city beach of Bacvice is mainly sandy and only a few minutes walk from the railway station. Its facilities include lifeguards, showers, parking areas and most amenities expected today. Behind the beach are a selection of restaurants, nightclubs and cafes, making it possible to extend your day into the night hours by dancing until dawn.
The Southern Dalmatia region is in the very south of the country. Here you will find the capital city of Dubrovnik. Banje beach is a famous pebble beach with a great view of the Old Town. This is a place to see and be seen. There are stylish restaurants, modern cafes and the playthings of the rich and famous e.g. water skiing, jet skis, speedboats etc. A little further afield, about 6km, is Copacabana beach. This provides lovely views of the islands and has a long shingle beach. There are many water sport activities including sea chutes for children. There is a diving centre as well as wind surfing regattas and water polo matches.
You are never far from a beach in this beautiful country and the variety is fantastic. Enjoy exploring this lovely coastline.
My husband and I are looking to travel to Turkey or Croatia in June, July or August of this year with our 5-7 month old baby (age dependent on when we go). Does anyone have any suggestions for having a baby friendly vacation in those countries? Areas to visit, things to do, places to stay?
Any ideas or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Croatia will blow your mind! Stay in Istria, enjoy the scenery, and relax on the beach. Here’s an article on vacationing in Croatia:

Lord Byron, the famous English poet, called the great walled city of Dubrovnik the pearl of the Adriatic
From the geometry of Dubrovniks tiled roofs
to Dubrovniks graceful and placid harbor,
The medieval city of Dubrovnik rings with the sounds of history (Bell), surprises with elegant architecture, and delights with its arches and artistic flourishes
One of the most beautiful towns on the Mediterranean, Dubrovnik sits at the end of the Dalmatian coast, and is the gem of Croatia
But Dubrovnik is very much a living city, alive with the energy of
Your people gathering along Dubrovniks walls by night and markets flourishing as they probably did centuries ago
And walking the maim street, Dubrovniks Stradun is everyones favorite pastime
Its difficult to believe this world Heritage site was bombed and held hostage by the of the Serbian armies,
But today Dubrovnik is a world class city
As regal as ever
and ever a magnet for curious traveler
