Malo Zarace Beach, Hvar

south west coast

Come by boat, or by car down the narrow road below the old stone village; parking above the coves is very limited, so arrive early. A narrow path leads down to this quieter cove, which most day trippers miss.

There is minimal infrastructure on this side, so bring your own umbrella and mat. The rocky seabed makes it one of the better snorkelling and diving spots on the island.
