Beach character
The beach spans 120 meters at its widest point, with a narrow 10-meter width in some sections. Its pebbly surface contrasts with the surrounding cliffs, which rise sharply from the water’s edge. The sea floor transitions from boulders to deeper waters, creating a moderate depth gradient that supports snorkeling but may challenge swimmers. The area’s natural features are dominated by mountainous terrain, with no artificial structures or amenities present.Swimming and shore
Snorkeling is the primary water activity, with the beach’s moderate depth and rocky substrate offering visibility for underwater exploration. The pebbly shore lacks designated swimming areas, requiring visitors to navigate uneven terrain. While the beach is not marked as suitable for general swimming, its sheltered cove position may provide calmer conditions during low tide.Facilities and activities
No formal amenities are listed, including restrooms, showers, or parking. The beach’s activities are limited to snorkeling and hiking, with no rental equipment or guided tours explicitly mentioned. Visitor reviews note the absence of crowds during off-peak seasons, though one report highlighted floating trash in the water during summer.Access and location
Access requires a 1km trek through woodland and rocky terrain, starting from Uljeni Bok, Hvar. The path is not marked for vehicles, making it unsuitable for those without hiking gear. Boat access is possible, with one reviewer arriving by kayak. The beach’s proximity to Hvar Town (approximately 15km northeast) may make it a destination for day-trippers exploring the island’s western coast.What visitors say
Reviewers describe mixed experiences. One praised the beach as a 'secluded spot perfect for swimming and sunbathing in peace,' noting that most visitors arrive via boat tours. Another highlighted the need for a '1km walk through the woodland island rocky path,' while a third criticized 'a lot of trash floating in the water.' Despite these concerns, the beach’s tranquility and natural setting remain recurring themes in positive feedback.Practical tips
Bring a trash bag to address reported marine debris. Wear sturdy footwear for the rocky trail. Arrive early to avoid potential crowds from boat tours. Snorkeling gear is not available on-site, so consider bringing your own.Exploring the coast by yacht
Store-Stone Beach lies within the broader sailing area of Hvar’s western coast, a region popular with motor yachts and sailing boats. Nearby anchorages include the harbor of Hvar Town and the marina at Stari Grad, both accessible within a 20-minute boat ride. Yacht charter guests exploring the area may find the beach a quiet alternative to more developed shores, though its lack of docking facilities means it cannot serve as a primary base.Hiking and Coastal Exploration
The 1km trail to Store-Stone Beach passes through dense woodland and rocky outcrops, offering panoramic views of the Adriatic. Hikers may encounter endemic flora and fauna, though no specific trails or markers are noted. The path’s difficulty level suggests it is suitable for moderate hikers rather than families with young children.Frequently asked questions

Beautiful little secluded spot, perfect for swimming and sunbathing in peace. Most people that come here seem to be on boat tours so if you walk here you will most likely get the beach to yourself. To get here we walked about 1km though the woodland island rocky path. . Split-Dalmatia
