Plaža Rogačić swim

A pristine beach, likely no one else visiting when you are. Even in the middle of the hottest tourist season. So pristine that marine life -- such as starfish or sea urchins -- like to hang out there. Still, the beach is easily accessible. This is Rogačić beach, a couple of kilometers north from the town of Vis on the island of Vis.

The beach is reachable from a small roadside parking place, by walking down a marked (but slightly difficult) trail.

The beach is rocky, and indeed there are sea urchins (black, furry/spiky looking things at the bottom) that you absolutely must not step on or touch. Or else there will be pain, severe stings can even be dangerous. Try to navigate around them for the few meters that are needed to exit the low sea
