On Monday 28th August 2017, I escaped to Vis for the day with good friends and it turns out - a day in Stoničica Bay was just what the doctor ordered.

Moving along on our series of finding the best beaches, today we bring you Vis: perhaps the most beautiful island on the Adriatic.

An island that is furthest from the main islands on the Dalmatian coast, which it is best to reach with your private boat. Much of Vis’ recent history was spent serving as a military base for the Yugoslav National Army, completely closed off from foreign visitors from the the 1950’s-1989. The upside to this? Vis was kept from being developed, essentially erasing the carbon footprint, driving the population to other areas. What this means for us? Vis is pristine, raw, and kept in its most natural forms, and today we bring you sandy beaches, pebbled ones, and even an award winner. Here are the 5 best beaches on Vis.
