Some info that i would have found useful/interesting before going: Its reputation is accurate - it is fun and fashionable, and the price of eating and drinking is more comparable to western European cities than other parts of Croatia/other towns on Hvar island.

Hvar town is beautiful but very busy in July and August (although if you want to party then this is great!).

If sandy beaches are your thing, then Hvar probably isn't. The beaches are either pebbles or large rocks (can be uncomfortable).

There are sea urchins! Buy some rubber shoes.
Snorkelling is great, definitely worth investing in a snorkel kit.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15195 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15193 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15193 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15192
We headed for a little sheltered cove off to the right of the beach which was meant to be for nudists. Not only does this have shade from the trees, but there were less people. The majority of people sunbathing there weren't nude, and as long as the odd naked couple doesn't disturb you, it's ideal! Great snorkelling here too, as on most beaches in Hvar.

Good restaurant on beach with BBQ fish and meat.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15192
