Vela Stiniva, practical questions
How do you get to Vela Stiniva: on foot, by car or by boat?
You reach it by boat or by the narrow road down from Zastrazisce; a handful of houses and a small seasonal restaurant stand around the beach. The clear, deep water suits swimming, scuba diving and jumping from the rocks, and the cliffs around the cove carry free climbing routes. Let our local concierge organise the best of Hvar for you: exclusive villas not listed online, private chef, boats, transfers.
What is the seabed like and how is the entry into the sea?
The clear, deep water suits swimming, scuba diving and jumping from the rocks, and the cliffs around the cove carry free climbing routes.
Is there a restaurant or bar at Vela Stiniva?
Yes, within a few hundred metres you will find Šer Zane. In peak season come early or book a table for lunch.
What should we bring to Vela Stiniva?
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.
Is Vela Stiniva good for small children?
The clear, deep water suits swimming, scuba diving and jumping from the rocks, and the cliffs around the cove carry free climbing routes. With small children, keep that entry in mind and pack swim shoes.
