The island's terracotta rooftops and stone walls are among the most photographed spots on the Adriatic coast. Since the 1960s the island has operated as a hotel — currently the Aman Sveti Stefan — and is closed to non-guests, but the view from the mainland beach costs nothing.

The public beach on the north side of the isthmus is a pebbly stretch with clear water and a direct line of sight to the island. South of the headland, Miločer Park — a former royal garden — leads to the Queen's Beach (Kraljičina plaža), a smaller cove framed by cypress trees.

Restaurants, cafés and rental apartments in the village above the beach are listed in the directory, along with nearby dining on the Pržno waterfront a short walk north.
