Welcome to Plaža Dubovica, the hidden gem nestled along the rugged southern coastline of Hvar Island, Croatia. This secluded cove, also known as Dubovica beach, is heralded as one of the island's most breathtaking beaches and it’s pretty easy to see why.
Accessing this little paradise requires a bit of effort though; visitors must traverse a rugged, downhill trail for about 10 minutes starting at a small roadside parking lot. If we didn’t know there was a worthwhile destination at the bottom, we probably would have passed this one up. In fact, we also almost missed the roadside parking and it was only a few bicycles next to the start of the path that caught our attention.
Once you finish the hike down, you're rewarded with a scene straight from a postcard. Dubovica is a pristine stretch of white pebbly beach framed by azure waters. Amidst this idyllic setting sits a collection of stone buildings, including a quaint, home-style restaurant. We were pretty sure we passed the owner of the restaurant on the trek down, talking on the phone and taking the path like it wasn’t even a tad treacherous!
Stepping onto this secluded shore felt like stumbling upon a local secret; a sanctuary untouched by the crowds. We were lucky to have the beach entirely to ourselves and spent our time basking in the warm Mediterranean sun, and trying to commit to memory as much about this beach as we possibly could. Whenever the pressures of life get a little intense, this is my daydream destination.
