Bol, Brac Island               

On the southern coast of Brac Island, Bol is a secluded harbour town near famous Zlatni Rat beach, one of the Adriatic's most distinctive beaches and one of the best beaches in Croatia.The pebble cape stretches into the open sea like a finger whose tip changes form according to the direction of the wind and waves.

The beauty of this unique phenomenon is that the cape affords a wide range of swimming and sunbathing opportunities from shallow and shady to sunny and deep, depending on the time of day and the wind. A mile long promenade shaded by pines links the harbour with Zlatni Rat beach making a particularly pleasant walk.     

Besides swimming and sunning there are a number of watersports on offer at the beach. It's particularly famous for windsurfing. The main sight in Bol town is the Dominican monastery and the nearby Vidova Gora mountain offers walking and hiking opportunities.
