Dubovica is one of Hvar's most photographed coves: a pebble beach on the south coast about 8 km from Hvar town, with an old stone house of the Kasandric family standing right at the water's edge.

Park along the old Hvar to Stari Grad road above the bay and walk down the steep, rocky footpath, about 10 to 15 minutes on uneven ground. The roadside parking strip is small and fills quickly, so many visitors come by taxi boat or rental boat from Hvar harbour instead.

Facilities are modest, so bring what you need for the day. The clear, sheltered water is excellent for swimming and snorkelling; arrive early in July and August to be sure of a spot.

Is there a restaurant or bar at Dubovica?

Yes, within a few hundred metres Google Maps lists: Konoba Dubovica (4.3), Duba Beach Bar (4.6). In peak season come early or book a table for lunch.

What should we bring to Dubovica?

Pack water shoes for the pebbles, an umbrella or a hat, natural shade is not guaranteed, sun cream and a towel.

Can we arrive by taxi boat?

Yes. Taxi boats from the Hvar riva run all season and a private ride drops you as close as the seabed allows. See routes and prices on our water taxi page.
