Mala Stiniva is a picturesque beach located in Poljica, on the island of Hvar, Croatia. It is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, with vertical cliffs descending into the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. The beach offers a tranquil retreat for those seeking relaxation and a chance to connect with nature. With its light golden brown pebbles, the beach stretches for about 100 meters, providing ample space for sunbathing and swimming. Mala Stiniva is often highlighted as one of the best beaches on Hvar Island, praised for its privacy and unspoiled natural surroundings.

Mala Stiniva Beach has a small, free parking lot nearby. However, finding a spot can be challenging during peak season, and visitors are advised to arrive early or be prepared to park further away.

The parking area is relatively basic, without additional amenities like ticketing or parking assistance.

The name Mala Stiniva is derived from the Dalmatian dialect, where 'stina' means rock or cliff. This is fitting given the beach's picturesque surroundings of vertical cliffs.

Historically, the beach was only accessible by boat, but a path was constructed in 2018 to allow foot access, enhancing its appeal for tourists and locals alike.

Mala Stiniva is part of a series of Stiniva beaches in the region, including one on the island of Vis, known for similar landscapes of towering cliffs.
