Velo Zarace, practical questions
How do you get to Velo Zarace: on foot, by car or by boat?
Velo Zarace is the east facing pebble cove at the foot of Zarace hamlet, 6 km from Hvar town, framed by the same high cliffs as its smaller neighbour. The road down from the main Hvar to Stari Grad road is steep but paved; parking is limited, and diners at the restaurants can often park for free. 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?
Velo Zarace is the east facing pebble cove at the foot of Zarace hamlet, 6 km from Hvar town, framed by the same high cliffs as its smaller neighbour. The underwater landscape draws snorkellers and divers.
Is Velo Zarace good for small children?
You can also arrive by boat. A couple of small family restaurants sit practically on the water, including the Gego beach bar, which makes this the more social and accessible of the two Zarace coves.
Is there a restaurant or bar at Velo Zarace?
Yes, within a few hundred metres you will find Gego Restaurant, Beach Garden, Zaraće, Hvar, Restoran Zorače Mohito bar, Velo Zaraće, Hvar. In peak season come early or book a table for lunch.
What should we bring to Velo Zarace?
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.
