Vela plaža, practical questions
How do you get to Vela plaža: on foot, by car or by boat?
Let our local concierge organise the best of Hvar for you: exclusive villas not listed online, private chef, boats, transfers. Tell us your dates and we recommend villas within walking or short driving distance. A private taxi boat from the Hvar riva drops you at the beach and picks you up when you say.
What is the seabed like and how is the entry into the sea?
Pebble underfoot, sunbeds in season, calm protected water and the town within a gelato walk: it is the default family beach and the easiest swim in town when you do not feel like an expedition.
Is there a restaurant or bar at Vela plaža?
Yes, within a few hundred metres Google Maps lists: Beach Club Hvar, Teo's House Hvar, Vunetovo Craft Beer, Agava. In peak season come early or book a table for lunch.
What should we bring to Vela plaža?
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.
Is Vela plaža good for small children?
Pebble underfoot, sunbeds in season, calm protected water and the town within a gelato walk: it is the default family beach and the easiest swim in town when you do not feel like an expedition. With small children, keep that entry in mind and pack swim shoes.
