Stiniva Cove
Stiniva
A hidden pebble cove on Vis's south coast, enclosed by towering cliffs with an entrance only a few metres wide, once named Europe's most beautiful beach.
Stiniva Cove lies on Vis's south coast, where cliffs on both sides nearly meet at the sea, leaving an entrance only about 4 m wide. Inside are a white pebble beach and emerald water, and in 2016 it was named Europe's most beautiful beach. There are two ways to get there: take a speedboat day trip and swim or transfer by small boat at the bay entrance, or drive to Žena Glava village and walk down a steep path for about 20 minutes. In summer, visitor numbers are limited and there are fees. The rocky beach offers no shade, so bring your own water and water shoes.
