Tiny but good beach

Mekicevica beach

Undoubtedly, the southern coast of Croatia boasts one of the most stunning beaches, which is a sight to behold. The beach is comprised of fine, velvety sand and tiny pebbles that are so white that they lend a beautiful light blue hue to the water. This idyllic spot can only be accessed through the Robinson boat service, which costs approximately 15 euros. Additionally, the Robinson restaurant serves visitors until 5 pm, making it a perfect place to spend a leisurely day.

The locals have also taken advantage of parts of the bay as a natural harbor, and visitors are welcome to explore the entire bay.

Notos Hvar beach
10 Omar Al Rahim

What a fantastic experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Instead of ordering specific dishes, we decided to let the waiter surprise us, and boy, were we in for a treat. The fish, which was the catch of the day, was absolutely delicious. And let me tell you, the desserts were out of this world. The overall bohemian atmosphere of the place was just the perfect finishing touch. I highly recommend giving it a try.
