Snail Crossing The Road

Zlatni rat beach (Golden Horn or Golden Cape) is one of the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean and thanks to its particular shape it is also one of the most exceptional beaches in the world. Many world famous business and travel magazines like the New York Times, National Geographic, the Insider Travel listed it many times in their articles as one of the most spectacular beaches in the world. Zlatni rat’s elegance and appeal have made it the symbol of both the town of Bol and Croatia and it is protected by the government of Croatia as a geo-morphological monument. But it is not just its shape that makes it so beautiful and unique. It is surrounded by the crystal clear sea that goes from turquoise blue to dark blue in just 10 to 20 meters and it is bordered by decades-old pine trees, planted by the locals to create some natural shade. The beach is situated less than 2 km from the town of Bol, connected with a lovely promenade under the pine trees shade, along which you can find many other small beaches. This fascinating 500 meters long pebble beach has a unique shape, like a small peninsula that stretches into the sea that in both sides together has almost 900 meters of beach sea line. The area of the beach is over 20.000 square meters and can comfortably accommodate over 10.000 people. The curiosity about this beach is that it changes its shape and position, depending on the wind, tide and the current and sometimes, the tip of the beach rotates so significantly that it forms a small pool. Usually, the mornings are windless and the wind blows every afternoon, but one side of the beach has always calm water and offers perfect conditions for families with small children.
