Mirca, Settlement in Supetar, Croatia.
Mirca is a coastal settlement along the northern shore of Brač island, featuring seven distinct beaches and Mediterranean vegetation typical of the region. The community spreads out along the coast with a mix of houses, olive groves, and natural coves.
The settlement developed from an agricultural community on Brač island, where residents cultivated olives and grapes across many generations. This farming foundation shaped the village and its landscape and continues to influence life there today.
The settlement sits on an island where residents have long practiced olive and grape cultivation, with these activities shaping the visible landscape. The scattered houses and stone terraces reflect this deep relationship between community and land.
Visitors reach Mirca through regular boat connections to Supetar port, followed by a short drive along the coastal road. The area is easy to explore once you arrive, with beaches and walking paths connecting different parts of the settlement.
One of the seven beaches operates as a naturist area, while the other six offer different kinds of coastal experiences for visitors. This mix of different beach types in one small area makes it an unusual offering compared to most island settlements.
