Brijesta, Coastal settlement in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia
Brijesta sits along the Adriatic coastline near Mali Ston Bay, featuring Mediterranean architecture and views across the water toward the Pelješac Peninsula.
The settlement developed from its origins as a fishing village into a multi-purpose community centered around shellfish harvesting, wine production, and olive oil making.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices and cultivate shellfish in the waters of Mali Ston Bay, continuing centuries-old methods of seafood production.
The settlement offers 70 camping spots for vehicles and tents, with a grocery store located 75 meters from the main accommodation area.
The waters surrounding Brijesta contain natural oyster beds that produce shellfish through a specific cultivation process influenced by the mix of fresh and salt water.
