Brač

If you were to look at the island from a birds-eye view, or as photographed in any guide book, you would recognise Brač by its trademark – the pebble beach Zlatni Rat in Bol. This is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and the largest coastal attraction on the whole Adriatic. Bol is the island’s oldest coastal settlement and a well-known seaside resort. It is located on the south side of the island, where there are several well-managed campsites, allowing all campers to discover why this particular place has won so many tourist accolades and plaudits.

In the distant past, Brač stone was more famous than Bol’s golden pebbles. This stone is embedded not only in stone houses on the island, but also in the White House in Washington and Diocletian’s Palace in Split. The quarries from which this building material was excavated are located in the vicinity of Pučišća on the northern part of the island. New generations of stonemasons are educated in the Stone-masons’ school in Pučišća. The northern coast of the island is well-known for Lovrenčina bay, and the area between Postira and Pučišća with another large sandy beach. There are also some valuable archaeological sites.
