Sumartin, Coastal settlement in Selca, Croatia

Sumartin stretches along the eastern coast of Brač island, featuring stone houses, pebble beaches, and a working shipyard at sea level.

The settlement began in 1646 when refugees from the Ottoman Empire established a community around a small church dedicated to Saint Martin.

The Franciscan monastery houses a museum containing regional artifacts, books, and paintings that showcase the heritage of eastern Brač island.

Regular ferry services connect Sumartin to Makarska on mainland Croatia, with multiple daily departures from the port in the town center.

The settlement maintains the oldest operational shipyard in the Adriatic, continuing a tradition of wooden boat construction spanning multiple centuries.
