Dubovica Beach
Hvar Island, Split-Dalmatia, Croatia
Dubovica Beach sits about 8 kilometers east of Hvar Town on the south shore of Hvar Island, Croatia, often called the prettiest beach on an island full of them. A short rocky path leads down from a small parking area to a pebble strip under 100 meters long, with a restaurant right on the sand run out of an old stone house.
A genuinely beautiful cove with a real restaurant on the sand, though its reputation as Hvar's best beach means the small parking lot and bay both fill up fast in peak season.
Go by boat from Hvar harbor if you want to skip the parking scramble, since the small lot above the beach fills quickly once the day boats start arriving.
There's a small parking area along the coastal road from Hvar Town, with a short rocky path down from there to the beach itself.
The path from the parking area to the sand is short but rocky and uneven, manageable on foot but not suited to strollers or wheelchairs.
June through September brings the warm, clear turquoise water Hvar is known for, with July and August drawing the heaviest boat traffic into the bay.

Kedrodasos Beach
Chania, Crete, Greece · Europe
Kedrodasos Beach lies on the southwest coast of Crete, Greece, just over a kilometer past the more famous Elafonissi and separated from it by a low headland that keeps the crowds thinner here. Ancient juniper trees, not the cedars the name suggests, grow right down into the dunes, and the water stays shallow and clear over a stretch of sand more than a kilometer long.
Voulisma Beach
Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece · Europe
Voulisma, also called Golden Beach, curves around the Gulf of Mirabello about 15 kilometers south of Agios Nikolaos on Crete, Greece, backed by a rocky cliff thick with Mediterranean scrub. The turquoise water here is calm enough for kids and shallow enough that it warms up quickly through the summer, and it's fully set up with sunbeds and beach bars for anyone who wants to stay all day.
Nanou Beach
Symi, Dodecanese, Greece · Europe
Nanou Beach sits on the south coast of Symi, Greece, a long stretch of white pebbles reachable only by boat and hidden behind a ring of high hills that keeps it out of view from the rest of the island. A small canteen serves lunch right on the beach, and the water here runs clear enough for good snorkeling and diving just off the shore.
