The beaches in Island of Hvar are generally rocky - pebble, situated in bays, surrounded by pine forests. There are also several natural sandy beaches, mostly on the north side of the island. If you just want to spend a few hours on the beach, you have some smaller beaches on each side of the town; the closest one from the city centre is the one by the Franciscan monastery. Also, you can try Hula hula and Falco beach bar.
