STINIVA BEACH
Stiniva Bay, a protected part of nature in Croatia under the status of a significant landscape. Although the Vis inhabitans and his friends have always known about her beauty and uniqueness, the European Best Destinations portal in 2016 declared Stiniva the most beautiful European beach. This results in an excessive number of visitors to this protected area. Every day we witness literally hundreds of boats, small, large, private, organized excursions, daily excursions and daily sailing trips that catch this bay on a daily basis during the tourist season.
LOCATED ON SOUTHERN SIDE OF ISLAND VIS
The very location of Stiniva Bay is excellent as it is located halfway between the island of Biševo (Blue Cave), popular Budikovac and Green Cave on the southern side of the island of Vis. Due to the large number of boats, a safety net was erected in front of the bay so that the boats could not reach the beach and endanger swimmers. For this reason, a large number of visitors decide to jump into the sea and swim to the beach, which when so many give this place a special sense of unity with nature and other visitors and leave unforgettable memories. The management and regulation of tourists in the area will certainly need to be regulated in the future. That is the challenge that lies ahead.
Former cave
Stiniva beach itself was created by the collapse of a cave whose vaults covered present-day Stiniva. With the collapse of the vault and the action of the sea, the remains of that vault have been transformed into today’s plight. Evidence for this is found on the marginal parts of the cliffs of Stiniva, on which we find stalactites that formed as well as the cave. This beautiful cove has served many times so far in its past as a stage for various movies and weddings.
