Local tips

Wear appropriate footwear for the rocky path leading to the beach. Sturdy shoes or sandals are recommended for a comfortable descent.
Arrive early, especially during peak season (June-September), to secure a parking spot and avoid crowds.
Bring your own snorkeling gear to explore the diverse marine life in the crystal-clear waters.
Pack sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water, as shade can be limited on the beach.
Consider visiting in May or October for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

Getting There

Car

From Hvar Town, take the D116 road east for approximately 8 km. After passing through a short tunnel, look for a parking area on the left side of the road. Parking is free but limited, so arrive early. From the parking area, a steep, rocky path leads down to the beach (approximately a 10-15 minute walk). Be sure to wear appropriate footwear. Taxi from Hvar Town to Dubovica Beach is estimated to cost 150-200 Kuna (€20-€27) one way. Renting a car in Hvar Town typically costs €60-€100 per day, excluding gas. Scooter rentals average around €40-€45 per day, also excluding gas.
Boat

Several local companies offer boat rentals or organized boat tours to Dubovica Beach from Hvar Harbour. Head to the port area to inquire about prices and schedules. A private boat tour will cost more, but it will allow you to explore the coast line at your own pace. Taking a boat bypasses the parking issue and provides a scenic coastal perspective.

Dubovica Beach, located approximately 8 kilometers east of Hvar Town, is a captivating destination that embodies the quintessential Mediterranean charm. This secluded pebble beach is nestled in a cove, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking respite from the bustling tourist areas. The beach is accessible via a scenic drive along winding coastal roads, followed by a short but somewhat steep hike down a rocky path. As you descend, you'll be greeted by the mesmerizing sight of turquoise waters gently lapping against the white pebble shore. The beach itself is relatively small, contributing to its intimate and exclusive ambiance. Lush Mediterranean vegetation and rugged cliffs surround Dubovica, creating a stunning backdrop for unforgettable memories. The crystal-clear waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling, revealing a fascinating underwater world teeming with marine life. Adding to the allure of Dubovica is the historic Kasandrić family's summer mansion, dating back to the 18th/19th century. This well-preserved stone house provides a glimpse into the island's rural past and architectural heritage. A small church is also located near the beach, adding to the unique character of Dubovica. While Dubovica retains a sense of seclusion, it offers essential amenities to ensure a comfortable visit. A small beach bar and restaurant nestled among olive trees provide refreshments and local cuisine.
