Spectacular Zlatni Rat
(Golden Horn) beach!

Croatia’s most spectacular is the vast, golden pebble beach, almost 580 yards long, known as the Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn). It is positioned just in front of Bol town on the island of Brac, the large island opposite Makarska Riviera.

The beach has a unique shape, like a white tongue stretched into the sea. It is unique also for the fact that it changes shape and position, depending on the wind. With its beauty and offer of various sports, the beach Golden Horn attracts tourists from all over the world, who like to enjoy the sun, the sea and water sports.

Offers on the beach: self-service restaurant, cafes, parachute rides, pedal boats, jet-ski, banana boats.
The beach is protected from the sea with safety nets, and only the tip of the beach is free for surfers - many international races and cups are organized here. 4 windsurfing schools, SSI scuba diving school, beach volleyball.

I took a boat from Hvar to Bol on Atlas tours (150 kn) which took about 2 1/2 hrs. Instead of taking a water taxi from Bol to the Golden Horn I recommend walking there. The walk goes along the coast, under pine trees and takes about 25 minutes at a leisurely pace. The Golden Horn is a smooth peeble beach which juts out to point - one one side of the Horn wind surfers, jet skies and boat swarm like humming birds. The setting is sublime - the mountains lord over the Horn, blue clear water on your left and right, the sound of the waves on the pebbles, a gentle breeze. I wish I had a full day here - I would recommend spending 2 nights here - 3 hours was not enough.
