Getting there

The climbing area is situated in a little cove called Pokrivenik (3km from another crag in Vela Stiniva), with 5 houses and a nice beach. If you are coming from the direction of Starigrad/Hvar/Jelsa and other places on the west side of the island, just take the main road to Sućuraj. After about 15km from Jelsa, you will reach a hill-side village Zastražišće. In the village itself, turn left at the sign for “Pokrivenik”.

If you are coming from Sućuraj or other places on the east side, or you are taking an express 30min ferry from Drvenik (near Makarska, on the mainland), just carry on towards Jelsa for 30km. Do not take the first turn to Pokrivenik, you will take the exit when you reach the 2nd (!!) exit to Pokrivenik. Follow the road and after about 1,5Km take a sharp turn to the right and follow this new road to the sea.

Parking location: 43.146512, 16.884420
