90 minutes south of Split, the stretch of coast often called the Makarska Riviera is a haven for beach lovers. In Makarska itself, Tucepi, Baska Voda and Brela the pebble beaches are very long with stylish cafes and restaurants and excellent boutique shops along the promenade and fragrant pine trees providing natural shade for those who seek it. A coastal path around the peninsula in Makarska gives a wonderful panorama with views of both magnificent beaches.
