Mention Brač and the first image that usually springs to mind is Zlatni Rat, the V-shaped beach of white pebbles surrounded by vivid turquoise waters. This beautiful spot on Brač's southern coast has long been the poster child for Croatia's beaches, but this Central Dalmatian island – the third largest in the country – has many more treasures to discover. The shore at Sutivan, Brač ( Mary Novakovich ) Brač's craggy coastline is a sailor's dream – so many pretty pine-fringed coves where you can drop anchor and dive into the Adriatic's sparkling waters.
If you're travelling by land, as I am, you don't have far to go to find a stretch of beach. In fact, as the ferry from Split drops me off at Supetar, I can see pebbly beaches straddling both sides of the port, while café terraces around the harbour make an appealing spot for a pre- or post-ferry coffee. Pučišća ( Shutterstock ) I head east along the winding coast road that curves around Brač's coves towards Pučišća, which sits snugly at the bottom of a deep, two-pronged bay.
Its sheltered harbour is delightful, lined with green-shuttered townhouses made of the same Brač limestone that went into Diocletian's Palace in Split as well as countless other buildings around the world. Not surprisingly,..
