Roughly an hour’s drive away, visitors are unlikely to forget the majestic cliffs of Omiš, a lively coastal town with a reputation for being Croatia’s adventure capital, as well as a fascinating history of pirates and fortresses! Omiš is a paradise for outdoor adventure seekers, with plenty of activities available on land as well as out on the water. Visitors can enjoy canyoning experiences along the gorges and waterfalls of the River Cetina, as well as zip lining above the river’s rugged ravine. The coast provides plenty of opportunities for sea kayaking, perfect for those who dream of an adrenaline-fuelled afternoon!
While a treasure trove of scenic beaches is often seen as the town’s main attraction, Makarska offers visitors a distinctive cultural heritage, excellent gastronomic experiences, beautiful architecture and diverse landscapes to enjoy. Take an afternoon stroll along the town’s pretty promenade before wandering the cobblestone streets of the old town to the main square. Here, you will find beautiful St. Mark’s Church with its spectacular mountain backdrop and plenty of charming cafes and restaurants. Stop for a coffee and watch the world go by before enjoying a leisurely lunch of fresh seafood or Makarska pašticada, a traditional beef dish from the region. During the summer, the picturesque squares of Makarska come alive, with local festivals and music events taking place in the old town.
Lively Makarska Beach stretches from the harbour to the western side of the town for almost two kilometres. Water sports enthusiasts will be delighted by the facilities on offer here, while the promenade offers plenty of cafes, bars and ice cream shops, which are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. For those in search of more secluded shores, Nugal Beach provides a pristine coastline sheltered by rocky cliffs, which can only be accessed on foot or by boat. The crystal-clear waters of nearby Solaric Beach are ideal for swimming and snorkelling, while the beach at Biloševac on the northern edge of Makarska is easily accessible, surrounded by fragrant pine trees and great for families and groups of friends.
For a day trip to remember, hop on a boat to the enchanting island of Brač, where more breathtaking beaches and scenic coastal towns can be reached in just under an hour. Catamaran tours also take in the stunning natural beauty of Korčula and Mljet, while Hvar is another very popular option.
