Banj Beach, Hvar

west coast

The walk from town along the seafront is flat and pleasant, and cycling works too; parking at the beach itself is private only, so most people come on foot.

There are showers, changing cabins, a restaurant and a cafe bar, plus water activities for kids in season, which makes it the easiest family option in Stari Grad. The beach is only about 50 m long and busy in peak season, so come earlier in the day.
