July the 14th, 2024 – As our quest for the best beaches in Croatia continues, we head to Croatia’s so-called premier island. Here are the 5 best beaches on Hvar.
dubovica
A regular in lists of best beaches in Croatia, Dubovica is one of the iconic photos of Hvar. Located on the south side just before one enters the tunnel to Stari Grad, for many Dubovica is the perfect beach, with its idyllic setting and unique stone house protuding into the sea. Parking is on the main road (come early) followed by a hike down.
lucisca
This paradise deserves a place on the list of the beach beaches on Hvar. It is the only beach on the island with reputed procreational powers, according to legend. Why not try it for yourself, along the new road not far from Sveta Nedjelja on the south side.
kordovon
The Pakleni Islands have so many fabulous beaches (see for yourself here!) and places to lose oneself in sun-seeking natural heaven, but Kordovon, on the other side of naturist island Jerolim gets our vote. Great beach and probably the most chilled bar in Dalmatia – Mare’s Place.
grebisce
Looking for a sandy family beach on Hvar? They do exist, but they are relatively rare, meaning this piece of paradise is very firmly on the list of the best beaches on Hvar. The northern side of the Jelsa harbour is your best bet, and Grebisce is very popular with tourists and locals alike, especially for those looking for early evening sun.
gdinj bays
Eastern Hvar is not as popular as its western counterpart, which is good news if you are holidaying anywhere near Gdinj, where some of the island’s best beaches are located on the south side. Known as the Gdinj Bays, take your pick from about seven, each with either a bar or restaurant (or both) to serve refreshments as you laze away the day.
