Best Beaches in Brač
Your complete guide to Brač's 2 most beautiful beaches — including Croatia's most iconic golden-horn cape and a quiet snorkeling cove on the island's north coast.
Exploring Brač's Coastline
Brač is the largest island in Dalmatia and the third largest in Croatia — a rugged, mountainous island rising to 778m at Vidova Gora, the highest peak of any Adriatic island. It is home to Zlatni Rat near Bol, the most photographed beach in Croatia and one of the most distinctive beaches in all of Europe — a white pebble cape that extends 500 metres into the Hvar channel, changing direction with the wind. The island's north coast faces Split across the 14km wide Brač Channel, offering calmer swimming conditions, while the south coast faces the open sea toward Hvar.
