Zlatni Rat Beach, Bol

Croatia Split-Dalmatia Bol

Zlatni Rat Beach, Bol

A famous beach of fine pebbles on the island of Brač, sticking out into the sea in a long point whose tip shifts with the wind and currents. Pine trees give shade, and the water is clear. The afternoon wind makes it one of the best windsurfing spots in the Adriatic.


It's a 2 km walk along the promenade from Bol harbour, or take the little tourist train. Climb Vidova Gora, the highest peak of the Adriatic islands, for a view down over the beach. Catamarans run from Split to Bol.
