Galets blancs, ombre des pins et eau claire jusqu'au fond — les criques où nous nagerions nous-mêmes, du seuil de la ville aux îles Pakleni.
The first of the Pakleni Islands, five minutes by taxi boat from the Riva — smooth rocks, pines and an easy, clothing-optional openness that has belonged to the islet since the 1950s. A beach restaurant takes care of lunch; the water is the point.
A gentle, shallow channel between the islets of Marinkovac — pines to the waterline, patches of pebbles and a pair of konobas a few steps from your towel. The easiest Pakleni day, made for families.
Ždrilca's quieter neighbour on Marinkovac — a string of small pebble coves under the pines, boats swinging at anchor just offshore. Bring a book.
The Pakleni bay: ten minutes by taxi boat from the Riva to pines, agaves and a curve of beach with some of the island world's best tables above it. Come for the morning swim, stay through lunch at the estates on the hill.
Marinkovac's open bay — white pebbles, water shading from glass to deep blue and taxi boats coming and going all day. Swim first, decide the rest later.
A tiny farming hamlet on the north side of Sveti Klement — vineyards, olive groves and a handful of quiet moorings, with a famous garden konoba hidden among the fields. Come by boat, stay for lunch.
A sweeping arc of white pebbles beneath an eighteenth-century stone villa, limestone cliffs behind and water of improbable clarity in front — many call it the island's most beautiful bay. Reached on foot down a steep path from the main road; closed shoes help.
The town's own beach, a twenty-five-minute stroll along the shore path — pebbles and smooth stone slabs facing the Pakleni Islands and the little lighthouse islet. In season there are sunbeds, kayaks and two easygoing beach restaurants.
The quiet one — a small hidden cove another twenty minutes on foot past Pokonji Dol, pines to the water and barely a sound but the sea. Bring what you need for the day; that is the point of it.
A theatrical little cove framed by high cliffs on the road toward Sveta Nedjelja — deep clear water, rock ledges for diving and light that turns copper in the late afternoon. Also a favourite stop on south-coast boat days.
An easygoing seaside village a short drive from town, with a string of pebble bays and konobas right above the water — the unhurried afternoon: swim, long lunch, swim again.
A secluded bay on the island's north coast — a house right on the beach, its own stretch of pebbles and barely anything else. The kind of place you reach by boat and leave reluctantly, after a long lunch by the water.
A sandy shelf under the pines east of Jelsa — shallow, pale water and a long quiet morning if you come before the bay fills. The road sits above; the last metres are on foot, as they should be.
The town beach of Stari Grad, a pine-shaded walk along the water from the harbour — pebbles, a gentle entry and the campanile across the bay. In season there are sunbeds; out of it, just the path and the sea.
The only sand in the long bay of Stari Grad, two kilometres from the square — a kept path along the water, pines to the shore and water that stays kind to children. On foot or by bicycle; the bay is the point.
Not the Pakleni Soline — this bay sits a kilometre from Vrboska, pebbles under pines, looking out to the islet of Zečevo. Shallow enough for a quiet family morning; the town is a short walk behind you.
White pebbles on the island's south face, reached through the tunnel at Pitve — a deep, clear bay with a handful of stone houses on the slope. The hill holds the wind; the water holds its colour.
A small north-coast cove of stepped limestone and a single stone house under the pines — water from glass to deep blue, and almost no one if you come by the path. Bring what you need; the bay keeps its own counsel.
