Zlatni Rat, White pebble beach in Bol, Croatia
Zlatni Rat is a white pebble beach on the island of Brač in Croatia. The spit extends roughly 500 meters into the sea and is flanked by pine forests on both sides.
Maritime maps from the 16th century already show the characteristic shape of this spit. Wind and sea currents have shaped the deposits over thousands of years and continue moving them today.
The name translates to Golden Horn and refers to the shape created by shifting pebbles at the water edge. Families arrive early to claim space under the pine trees that provide natural shade throughout the afternoon.
A paved path under trees leads from the center of Bol to the beach and takes around 20 minutes on foot. Both sides of the spit offer entry points into the water, with the sheltered side changing depending on wind direction.
The tip changes direction based on wind and currents and can rotate up to 45 degrees. Some visitors return multiple times to observe the shifting shape.
