Palmizana Island
7/12 Friday
We've been told that Palmizana Island is a beautiful spot, another easy ride on the water taxi. It has the look of a botanical garden, with huge cactus trees and agave along the walk to the beach. We're less happy with the swimming here. The harbor is full of boats and the water is full of children. All the beach chairs are taken, but there are nice spots for us along the rocks. A couple of guys pass by us and one says Dude, I've found the coolest beach bar EVER, meaning the one near us along the hillside. It is very cool, but I would not go that far. There are several small inns and restaurants on the island, and there are probably really nice trails over the island for better swimming coves. It's hard to say it isn't gorgeous, but its not our favorite place so far.
We take the taxi back later in the afternoon, earlier than we expected. I have time for a swim off the rocks near the Hvar harbor, where all the local kids go. It's nice and deep.
