Bay Divja Vela - Sućuraj - Island Hvar

Sućuraj is located on the eastern part of the island not far from the mainland (three nautical miles). It is the most important port on this side of the island. Even from ancient times this position has had an important strategical character, as well as a role in communications with the mainland.

Today, there are frequent boat connections with the mainland. Traffic goes on by road towards all the places on the island and to the mainland, and this has conditioned the development of the town of Sućuraj as the transit centre of the island and made possible the development of the tourism as a subsidiary branch of the economy.
