Brac may not have the star power of neighbours 
Zlatni Rat, also known as Golden Beach, is undoubtedly one of the most famous sights to come out of Brac. Stretching out into the sea, its unique triangular shape shifts with the wind, rendering it a popular spot with windsurfers. Just keep in mind that the beach looks better from above, so consider taking a helicopter tour if you want to snap the slim, stony formation in its full glory.
Vidova Gora serves as the highest point on Brac – but also the Adriatic Islands as a whole. To hike the structure, it’ll take you between 3 and 5 hours, but we guarantee you won’t regret the climb when you take in the panoramic views at the top. Not steady on your feet? Don’t worry, as there’s also the option to drive up. Pack a picnic and watch the sunset from this magnificent viewpoint – you may find yourself coming back more than once.
After taking in the captivating stone buildings of Brac, you won’t be so surprised to learn that this island is famous for its stonemasonry past. In fact, Brac’s stone is actually used around the world, including in the construction of the USA’s White House. To discover more, take a visit to the Stonemason School in Pucisca.
The cuisine in Brac is quintessentially Croatian: fresh seafood, vegetables, and lots of olive oil! There’s a wealth of produce served here that’s taken straight from the Adriatic Sea, though keep in mind that fish dishes are often priced by weight. Alternatively for meat eaters, peka is a must-try, seeing lamb and vegetables cooked under a bell-like lid with hot ash on top.
