Jerolim is a small island with two deep inlet bays giving the island the look of an hourglass. We take the south side that is well protected from the prevailing winds and waves. This spot is very kick back. We drop anchor in the middle of the bay surrounded by a beautiful beach. This whole island is clothing optional. The bay we anchored in seemed like the most private. Taking the dingy to shore, we are able to walk around the whole island in about an hour. Right where this island is pinched together, there is a small café serving ice cream and cold drinks. This is a popular day trip to those visiting Hvar, but most people stay at the other side of the island where the water taxi drops them off. The clear water, beautiful rocky shore, wide beach and the only boat in the cove made it just too perfect. We stayed for a couple of nights.
Croatia in general has a lot of clothing optional beaches. Just about every beach fades to a nude beach at one end or the other. And when we are anchored out in a cove with other boats, chances are they will be swimming naked as well. It seems like this very orthodox Catholic country has no problems with nudity. Wonder how they missed the message from the pope that they should be ashamed of their bodies?? It is really a beautiful thing.
