Komiža is the exclusive, still largely authentic fishing village on the Vis island on Croatia's Adriatic Sea coast. There's multiple beaches, and my favorite is the Lucica Beach. But the one near Hotel Bisevo, Gusarica Beach is also nice! It is larger, and more popular. I usually call it the hotel beach.
You can find the beach location from Google via this link.
There's a bar, a church, couple of diving centers, canoe rentals, a port ... and the hotel. All you need, that is. The beach is easy and well protected. As with elsewhere in Vis, the beach is pebbles rather than sand. I prefer to use some kind of shows to not make my feet hurt.
This is the little street, Ribarska Ulica. It is the main shopping street in Komiža:
