You don’t need to jet off to Croatian islands like Hvar and Brač to see the country’s best beaches. Coastal towns run the length of Croatia, and while they may not look like the coastal destinations in Mexico or surf havens in California that you typically equate with a beach town, they bring European charm and elegance to the concept of a town that’s centered on a stretch of coast, and whose identity is in some ways shaped by that fact. For scenic beaches accompanied by stunning architecture and non-sunbathing activities ranging from hiking to bar-hopping, these are the Croatia beaches and beach towns to visit on your next trip to Croatia.
Makarska
Roughly 40 miles south of Split and 90 miles north of Dubrovnik, Makarska is the Croatian beach town at the center of the Makarska Riviera, which stretches approximately 37 miles from Brela to Gradac. In addition to a string of pebble beaches, Makarska is blessed with a palm-fringed harborside promenade, tranquil bays, and pine forests that are all sheltered by tall Mount Biokovo. Both campsites and beach hotels are plentiful, depending on whether you’re into the natural aspect of beach towns or the developed one, which in this case includes many cafes, boutiques, and a robust nightlife scene. A ferry also runs from Makarska to Brač.
Where to stay: Marineta Suite
This newly renovated two-bedroom condo is centrally located in Makarska, minutes from the main square, Osejava Beach, and a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars. When you want a little privacy, bring your beachy sunbathing session home with you and relax on the private terrace, which is also equipped with a barbecue grill and outdoor dining area. Read More…
