Brela is rightly regarded as the pearl of the Makarska Riviera, a picturesque little town north of Makarska, nestled at the foot of the majestic Biokovo mountain range. The world-famous Punta Rata beach has repeatedly been ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Europe – white pebbles, the shade of a pine forest reaching down to the sea, and the iconic Kamen Brela, a rock with a lone pine standing amid the waves that has become the symbol of the place. The sea here is crystal clear and shallow at the entrance, which families with children particularly appreciate. Brela has preserved a peaceful, elegant atmosphere free of mass tourism, yet it still offers pleasant cafés and restaurants along the seafront. The long promenade winding through the pine forest along the coast is one of the most beautiful walking paths in Croatia, linking the various coves and beaches. It lies only about 15 km from lively Makarska, with which Brela forms a single riviera. It is an ideal destination for anyone seeking natural beauty and seaside calm rather than noisy entertainment.
