If you decided to visit Brač, Croatia, you probably did it because of Zlatni Rat Beach, a beautiful 530-meter-long beach. Well, I can’t blame you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, as a Croatian, I can assure you that Brač has a lot more to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you can visit Milna’s Thousand Boats Cove, enjoy a stunning view of Croatia<\/a> and Italy from the highest peak of Vidova Gora and buy some fresh seafood in Sumartin. You can also sunbathe in Lovrečina Cove and enjoy Mozart’s A Little Night Music while watching a traditional regatta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, where is this Croatian island<\/a>? Brač is our third-largest island. It is located in Dalmatia, which also includes other popular tourist destinations, such as Dubrovnik<\/a>, Split<\/a>, Trogir and Hvar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t know, my home country of Croatia, is located in Europe. It shares borders with Slovenia<\/a>, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Italy<\/a>. The capital city is Zagreb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, here is a fun fact: the beauty of Brač has spread all the way to Texas<\/a>. Namely, there is Adriatic <\/a>Village, a resort modeled after Supetar, Brač.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is so special about the island of Brač? Find out in one of my numerous Croatia travel guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island of Brač is a popular and easily accessible island. How? By taking one of the numerous Jadrolinija car ferry and catamaran services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily buy a ticket online. Split and Makarska are two possible beginning sites. Both rides take about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The journey is very comfortable and scenic. From the ferry’s huge “terrace,” you can enjoy coffee and the beautiful view of the Adriatic Sea and its islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a truly great experience. When you board the ferry, you don’t feel like you’re still on your way to your destination; instead, you feel like your vacation has just begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to Visit the Island of Brač<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to experience everything the Dalmatian coast has to offer visit the island of Brač during the high season (summer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you want a more relaxing experience, late spring (May to June) and early fall (September to October) are also good possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, going to Brač in off-season comes with the risk that the weather and Adriatic Sea temperatures will not be ideal for swimming. And you probably don’t want to take the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll begin with the queen of the island of Brač. Golden Horn Beach is one of our most beautiful beaches. It appears on every Croatian top list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is this 530-meter-long pebble beach so popular? Because of its distinctive triangle shape, which stretches into the Adriatic Sea’s crystal-clear waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
