Island Brač bays
Tourism on Brac started in 1923 in Bol.
Bol has, with Dubrovnik, and Opatija, one of the longest tourism histories in Croatia. And along with few other destinations, like Rovinj, Split, Plitvice, Hvar, Korcula and Dubrovnik, Bol remains one of the most poplar tourist destinations in Croatia (Don’t tell me you’ve thought it was the off the beaten path destination).The most famous beach, not only on the island Brac, but in all Croatia, is Zlatni Rat beach located in Bol. Other popular beaches on the island includes: sandy beach Lovrecine, then "Paklina" on the east end of Bol, Murvica, and Vela Farska west of Bol, Ticja luka and Ratac in Povlja, Lucice and Osibova Bay near Milna.
Lucice 43°18.59′N, 16°26.79′E
U. Lucice is a multi
-
branched inlet a mile of the harbour of
Milna
(although a trip of some five
miles round the headland separating it). The
best shelter is in the westernmost branch of the
inlet, where there are a restaurant and several mooring buoys for visiting yachts. Alternatively,
anchor with a line ashore in this or the next branch to the E. Depths are 10
-
12 meters and the
holding is goo
d in sand and weed. The anchorage becomes uncomfortable with fresh to strong
S winds.
Studena 43°16.33′N, 16°50.54′E
The anchorage of U. Studena is situated at the SE end of the island, a mile or so SW of the port
of
Sumartin
. It offers good shelter in all but S winds. Anchor at the head of the inlet in 6.0
–
8.0
meters, preferably with a line
ashore. Holding is good in sand and weed.
Rasotica 43°18.44′N, 16°53.24′E
U. Rasotica lies at the extreme E tip of the island and consists of a narrow
cleft that offers good
shelter from all directions in the tiny cove at its head. Anchor in 5.0
–
6.0 meters and take a line
ashore to one of the stone bollards around the cove. Holding is moderate in sand and weed. No
facilities ashore.
Luka 43°20.48′N, 16°48.04′E
U. Luka is the westernmost part of a multi
-
branched inlet at the NE end of the island, in the
easternmost part of which is the harbor of
Povlja
. U. Luka reaches inland for almost a mile and
is perfectly sheltered at its head. Anchor in one of the three coves at the head in 4.0
–
6.0
meters and take a line ashore if preferred. The holding is good in sand. There is a restaurant on
the S side of the westernmost cove with its quay and laid moorings in 4.0 meters . Obviously, if
you moor here you are expected to eat in the restaurant.
