Martinica beach near the town centre is divided into two parts by a small cape with a monastery. To the east of the monastery lies a beautiful bay with wonderful views of the surrounding hillside and Hvar Island. The beach offers only little or no shade, but in the afternoon when the typical Mistral wind is blowing, it is sheltered by the monastery’s promontory. Martinca beach is also referred as the “home beach”, as local inhabitant’s bath there. We can recommend this beach to families with children, because in summer swimming lessons for kids of all ages take place. Near the beach lie a beach bar and a restaurant within the monastery’s courtyard, where you can find shelter from the hot sun. Further, from the beach there is a lovely path among the rocks, leading to a couple FKK coves.
