Vinišće, Coastal settlement in Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia.
Vinišće is a coastal settlement nestled along a deep Adriatic bay with traditional stone houses scattered across the area. Multiple small beaches dot the shoreline, and nearby islands are visible from the main settlement.
The first written records mention the settlement in 1272 in documents from Trogir. Roman military veterans settled in the area and established early vineyards.
The local community long maintained strong ties to the sea, with fishing and boat-building remaining central to daily life and identity. These maritime traditions continue to shape how residents interact with their environment and welcome visitors.
The settlement offers private accommodations and restaurants serving local fare, with road connections to larger coastal cities. Visitors should plan in advance since most facilities are geared toward the warmer months.
The Murvica lighthouse was built in 1895 on a small islet between two nearby islands and remains visible from the shore. This structure tells the story of maritime importance in the region's development.
