Some of the best beaches in Croatia are on Hvar, so here are Hvar’s finest according to Rough Guides.
More recognition for Hvar’s fabulous beaches, this time from Rough Guides who feature Dobovica and Grebisce (in Jelsa) in Croatia’s top ten. Here’s what they had to say below, and there are plenty of others to choose from too on the island – take a beaches tour in the video below.
UVALA DUBOVICA, HVAR ISLAND
The Renaissance port of Hvar enjoys a worldwide reputation when it comes to chic bars and racy nightlife. If a good beach is what you’re after, however, it’s best to get out of town. There are several good choices in the coves and bays to the east, of which the most attractive is Uvala Dubovica, a broad pebbly affair beside a historic manor house. The bay’s shallow nature makes it good family paddling territory, although it gets popular with yachts and motorboats in season. Otherwise, difficulty of access tends to filter out the guests – the parking strip on the main road above the bay is only big enough to accommodate about fifty vehicles
GREBIŠĆE, HVAR ISLAND
(with thanks to www.visit-hvar.com for the pics.
While many of Hvar’s beaches involve perching on a rock before stepping gingerly out onto a stony seabed, the silkily sandy Grebišće is absolutely perfect for smooth paddling around. Located 4km east of Jelsa just off the Sućuraj road, the beach is reached by walking through the Grebišće campsite. The beach itself is very narrow and contains very little shade, but the bay is both very shallow and sandy underfoot – which is why it’s such a popular venue for splashing around. Drinks and basic snacks are available at the campsite café or the Čorni Petar beach bar, nestling beneath trees on the headland to the east.
