Stiniva, one of the most famous beaches in Croatia
You don’t know where to go in Croatia ? Go to Stiniva , one of the wild beaches located on the southern coast. With a narrow entrance lined with stones, this cove remains the most spectacular in the country , notably thanks to its pebbles and cliffs, 35 meters high ! But to get there, Stiniva will put you to the test to get there: prepare good walking shoes, because the descent is steep and lasts around twenty minutes!
An ideal site for snorkeling and diving, Stiniva beach is located on the island of Vis which, closed to tourists between 1945 and 1989, has today become one of the best preserved islands in Croatia . Relatively small, the island of Vis can be visited in one day. If you are a paddle fan, you can rent one directly on site, and if you prefer to lounge in the sun, you can also enjoy the beach bar 🍹 In my opinion, it is truly one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia if you are looking for a quiet place to relax for an afternoon
Brela, one of the emblematic beaches of Croatia
Located at the foot of the Biokovo mountain , 15 km from the town of Makarska, Brela is a very small coastal town which attracts thousands of tourists every year in search of heavenly settings and breathtaking natural landscapes. Brela benefits from the Blue Flag label which demonstrates its efforts in environmental management.
With no less than 6 km of beaches, the small town offers postcard settings, with splendid emerald water and unforgettable sunsets… Here, you can notably enjoy the pebble beach of Dugi Rat , long 300m.
But what makes Brela such a popular place is above all for Punta Rata beach , placed every year at the top of the list of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia! A true Croatian symbol, Punta Rata beach is particularly known for the Karmen Brela rock , a tiny islet opposite the beach, overlooked by a Mediterranean tree.
