Srebrna Bay
Silver-pebble beach with ancient Greek quarry ruins
Srebrna Bay, nestled on the southeastern coast of Vis Island, is a tranquil haven celebrated for its natural beauty and serene atmosphere. The bay’s main attraction, Srebrna Beach, is renowned for its large, smooth white pebbles that shimmer with a silvery sheen—especially under the moonlight—giving the bay its name, which means “silver” in Croatian. The beach is framed by flat limestone rock slabs, ideal for sunbathing, and is sheltered from winds, making the sea here calm and inviting for swimming.
Srebrna Bay is particularly appealing to families, thanks to its gentle shoreline and clear, warm waters. While the beach is relatively undeveloped, it provides basic amenities such as changing rooms, public toilets, and safety markings for swimmers. The peaceful setting is perfect for those seeking a quieter escape from the busier beaches elsewhere in Croatia.
History enthusiasts will appreciate the bay’s ancient legacy. Nearby are remnants of stone blocks and a quarry used by Greek colonists from the 4th century BC, when the island’s ancient settlement of Issa was established. Parts of the quarry now lie beneath the sea, adding a layer of intrigue to the area’s already captivating landscape.
Accessible by car or boat, Srebrna Bay is a must-visit for anyone exploring Vis Island, offering a blend of natural splendor, historical depth, and a genuine sense of Mediterranean tranquility.
