Jerolim Island — naturist coves
Hvar, Pakleni Islands, Split-Dalmatia County
A small wooded island just off Hvar, known for long-established naturist use of its rocky and pebble coves. Taxi boats link it with Hvar Town, while mixed visitors share the island’s paths and beach services.
Nudity policy
Traditional FKK island; mixed visitors
Hvar’s current tourist-board guide calls Jerolim an unofficial FKK island with a long naturist tradition, while explicitly welcoming everyone seeking its quiet surroundings. Treat it as an established clothing-optional island, not an exclusively nude reserve.
Clothed visitors and service venues share the island. No precise exclusive nudist boundary is published by the tourist board; use current signs and local guidance for the quiet naturist bathing spots.
Facilities
- Restaurant/Cafe: The official Hvar island page confirms two locations offering food and beach services; these are separate from quiet bathing spots.
Only confirmed facilities at this place are classified; dress rules, charges and seasonal availability are explained below.
Access & visiting
Reach the public island bathing places by taxi boat or other lawful boat transport. The transport fare and optional beach services are separate from beach access; no overnight accommodation is required. Confirm the return trip before leaving Hvar.
Age & supervision
This is a shared public shoreline with no published minimum admission age or adult-only naturist enclosure in the checked visitor guidance. Children need adult supervision; the naturist boundaries and access conditions described below still apply.
Age policy sourceWhen to go
Taxi-boat services and beach venues are seasonal and weather-dependent; do not assume a year-round scheduled service.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
Go to Hvar Town harbour and book a boat specifically stopping at Jerolim, not Stipanska, Mlini or Palmižana. The tourist board describes a short taxi-boat journey from town; arrange the return and confirm which Jerolim landing the boat uses.
Parking
There is no road or car park on the island. Leave a vehicle in a permitted public parking area in Hvar and walk to the harbour. Main-island parking is not an on-site facility.
Finding the naturist area
At the landing, follow established island paths towards the pebble coves on the north or south shore, or the quieter rocky western shoreline described by the tourist board. Ask the boat operator or beach staff which current spot is used for nude bathing, since mixed visitors and dining areas coexist. Do not mistake another Pakleni island with a similar boat destination for Jerolim.
Where naturism applies
The traditional naturist setting is Jerolim’s bathing coves and rocky shore. It is not a blanket FKK designation for the whole Pakleni archipelago, Hvar harbour or all island restaurants.
- Check the current local access signs and operating conditions before visiting.
- Respect other visitors’ privacy and the venue’s photography rules.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
