Reviews
Amazing beach, sandy and warm. Walking distance from Jelsa
It's a lovely beach when you have small kids. No worries about safety. Lovely bleu water. You can find a good place at the pine trees. Coming with car mighy be not easy to get a spot.
Lovely quiet beach on Vis. Great local restuarant too. Beach is sandy, not rocky like most of the Split beaches. Not for surfing, just relaxing. Split-Dalmatia
