Thick pine forests, high poplars (which is quite rare on the
Dalmatian islands), nice sand beaches, vineyards and
olive-groves render Jelsa and its surroundings a special
attraction. East of Jelsa is a sand cove called Mina, and on the
small Glavica peninsula the public beach Soline. Since the
sixties the islet of Zecevo has been frequented by nudists,
which makes Jelsa one of the pioneers of nudist tourism on the
Croatian coast. |
