Gromin Dolac, practical questions
How do you get to Gromin Dolac: on foot, by car or by boat?
The narrow road down is an adventure in itself, agaves and pines hang over the turquoise shallows, and even in August you can often have the bay almost to yourself. 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.
What is the seabed like and how is the entry into the sea?
Gromin Dolac is one of the most secluded beaches on Hvar, a pebble cove on the south coast between Zavala and Gdinj. The narrow road down is an adventure in itself, agaves and pines hang over the turquoise shallows, and even in August you can often have the bay almost to yourself. 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 Gromin Dolac?
Yes, within a few hundred metres you will find Wilson's - Beach bar. In peak season come early or book a table for lunch.
Is there shade at Gromin Dolac?
The narrow road down is an adventure in itself, agaves and pines hang over the turquoise shallows, and even in August you can often have the bay almost to yourself.
What should we bring to Gromin Dolac?
Pack water shoes for the pebbles, 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.
