Makarska Riviera
Makarska
A roughly 60 km pebble coastline at the foot of Mount Biokovo; the harbour of Makarska town and its pine-lined beaches are top choices for a seaside holiday.
The Makarska Riviera stretches from Brela to Gradac, backed by the steep Biokovo mountains, with pine trees reaching the sea and clear pebble beaches. The main town of Makarska, about 60 km from Split, has a half-moon harbour, a seafront promenade, a Franciscan monastery and a shell museum, as well as a lighthouse trail on St. Peter Peninsula to the west of town. Nearby small towns such as Brela, Baška Voda and Tučepi have quieter beaches. From Split, a bus takes about 1.5 hours, and the trip is often combined with a day visit to the Biokovo Skywalk.
