Driving
From Hvar Town, drive towards Sveta Nedilja. The journey takes approximately 30 minutes. Be prepared for the final approach: a 10-15 minute drive on an unpaved, gravel road leading towards the coast. This road is rough, so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended. After driving as far as possible, park along the roadside. From there, a 10-minute walk down a steep, rocky path is required to reach the beach. Parking is free along the road, but spaces are limited, especially during peak season.

Boat
From Hvar Town's waterfront, several local boat operators offer trips to Sveta Nedilja. Inquire about a direct drop-off at Lučišća Bay, or a drop-off in Sveta Nedilja followed by a short walk. The boat ride typically takes around 20 minutes. Prices vary depending on the operator and the type of boat, but expect to pay between 200-400 HRK for a round-trip per person. Confirm the exact drop-off location and return time with the boat operator.

Walking
