Mala Stiniva is a small pebble cove between steep cliffs on the north coast of Hvar, near the villages of Poljica and Zastražišće east of Jelsa.
Why go
It is a wild, quiet spot for a swim, with very clear water under the cliffs. There are no facilities, so bring water, food and shade.
Getting there and around
Most people arrive by boat from Jelsa. Footpaths also lead down from the villages above the cove, but they are steep and rocky – not suitable for small children or anyone with limited mobility.
