Dubovica

Dubovica is one of Croatia's most photographed bays, and with good reason. With its stone buildings protruding out into the southern shores of the island, the bay is a pretty combination of Hvar's stone heritage and pristine beaches.

Photo opportunities of the bay, like the one above, have been made accessible with the opening of the new road to Sveta Nedjelja. There is no direct road access to Dubovica, and visitors must park at the top on the main road, before clambering down.

While the descent is a little rough, the rewards are certainly worth it, with the popular beach complemented by a restaurant behind.
