There's a few beaches around the town of Vis (on the island of Vis) in the Croatian archipelago. Like the one in front of the hotel Issa (article, alt. link). Plaža Grandovac is another beach, in the natural environment where you can't really see the city just the sea and the beautiful pine tree forests. It is northeast from the city, at the entrance of the bay. You can walk there from the city, it is about a 2 km walk. A nice walk!
The beach is pebbles like most other beaches on the island. There are no facilities on the beach, not even a toilet I think, and certainly not any kiosks or cafes. But the beach is in a sheltered place from boating, winds, and you can even find some shelter from the sun if you go back a bit from the beachfront towards the forest.
Oddly there's a stone-walled graveyard right behind the beach, the English graveyard. It dates back to the short time English held the island in 1811-1815. More information here:
The coordinates for the beach are N 43.068352 E 16.206124. More information here. The beach is free, as are all other beaches on the island.
