Uvala Voscica Voscica 1, Novo Selo
Beach character
The beach's defining feature is its sheltered cove, framed by rugged cliffs and mountainous terrain. The pebbly shore contrasts with the surrounding landscape, which is marked by limestone outcrops and sparse vegetation. Depth increases gradually, making it a safe spot for swimmers, though the rocky seabed limits the area suitable for wading. The beach's orientation and natural barriers contribute to its relatively calm waters, a feature noted by visitors for snorkeling and diving.Swimming and shore
Swimming conditions are generally favorable, with moderate depth and clear visibility. The pebbly shore requires caution for barefoot walkers, but the beach's sheltered position offers protection from strong waves. Snorkelers appreciate the underwater visibility, though the rocky seabed means limited areas for exploration. The beach's orientation toward the open sea allows for partial sun exposure during midday, with shade available near the cliffs.Facilities and activities
There are no official facilities at Uvala Voscica, consistent with its status as a remote, natural beach. Visitor reviews confirm the absence of showers, restrooms, or lifeguards. The beach's primary appeal lies in its natural setting, with hiking trails leading to the cove from nearby paths. The lack of infrastructure aligns with the beach's character as a destination for those seeking solitude and connection with the landscape.Access and location
Access to Uvala Voscica requires a short hike from the nearest road, which ends at a trailhead near the village of Voscica. Parking is limited, with visitors reporting only a few spaces available near the trail. The beach's remoteness means it is not accessible by car beyond the trailhead, requiring a 10-15 minute walk. This accessibility profile suits hikers and those willing to forego vehicle convenience for a more immersive experience.What visitors say
Visitors consistently highlight Uvala Voscica's natural beauty and snorkeling opportunities. One reviewer noted, 'Amazing place! Hard to find but wonderful water where you can dive, snorkel and swim.' Another described it as 'a real insider tip' with 'crystal clear water' ideal for snorkeling. However, several reviews mention the beach's unsuitability for children due to the pebbly shore and limited facilities. Parking constraints are also a recurring theme, with one visitor stating, 'only a few parking spaces available.'
Practical tips
Plan for limited parking and a short hike to reach the beach. Bring water and sun protection, as there are no shade structures or restrooms. The beach's pebbly shore makes it less ideal for young children, but its clear waters and sheltered position make it a rewarding destination for snorkelers and hikers.
Exploring the coast by yacht
For sailors exploring the Brac coast, Uvala Voscica's proximity to the island's western shore offers a scenic anchorage option. The nearby port of Supetar, located approximately 12 nautical miles east, provides marina facilities for yachts. Charter guests navigating the Dalmatian coast may find the beach a worthwhile stop for a shore excursion, though its remote location means it is not a typical yacht landing spot.
Best Time to Visit
While the beach's crowd index is low in high season, visitor reviews suggest it remains accessible even during peak months. The moderate cleanliness index indicates that the beach maintains a reasonable standard despite its lack of infrastructure. Early morning visits may offer the most peaceful experience, with fewer visitors and optimal snorkeling conditions.

A real insider tip! Most beautiful beach on the island so far. Not suitable for children. Unfortunately there are only a few parking spaces available. alessia r
Hidden spot in Brac. Water is crystal clear and it's a nice place to snorkel. If you go by car, you cannot go all the way down to the bay (which is a little trashy) but you can reach the rocky side of the beach on foot. Split-Dalmatia
