Stoncica, Zaglav beaches

Shaped like an arrowhead, Vis is situated further offshore than any inhabited Adriatic island. For decades it was closed for foreign tourists because of military reasons. This and it's remoteness are the reason it has never been overrun by tourists. Its isolation still keeps hordes of package-oriented tourists away, but it became a favorite island for many independent travelers, loved by its laid-back air and an infectious charm.
One of the most beautiful is Stoncica bay, often refereed as Vis' Hawaii, situated 6km from Vis town on the northeastern coast of the island. It is a beautiful sandy bay with an interesting restaurant with home atmosphere. There is a beautiful lighthouse and few private apartments and whole houses to rent. Some owners offer a taxi boat service to Vis town. This is a perfect place to anyone seeking peace and quiet, a vacation away from civilization. No phones, no running waters but rainwater cisterns. Stoncica also has a good mooring for nautical tourists.
Island's the biggest and the most beautiful sandy beach Zaglav is situated 10km south of Vis town, near Milna village. You can't drive all the way to Zaglav. You have to leave your car in Milna and then walk for about 10 minutes along the coastline path. You can also use a taxi boat from Milna. In Zaglav there is a restaurant with a beautiful terrace and few houses offering apartments. The place is convenient for those who look for peace and isolation. Because of the sandy beach, Zaglav cove is often visited by yachts.
