General information A tourist destination placed 25 km northwest of Makarska, at the foot of Biokovo Mountain. A dense pine tree forest surrounds the beautiful pebble coast and the clean Adriatic sea. It has been known for its natural beauties for centuries. There is also a small marina with berths for boats and yachts. Those interested in culture can visit the medieval church Gospa od Karmela, representing specific 18th century architecture, and sv. Stjepan church from the 19th century. The locals are proud of the quality of private accommodation offered in villas located on the slopes of Biokovo Mountain, several hundred meters above the sea, protected by the shade of century old pine trees. They are particularly proud of the fact that their beach was the first one in Dalmatia to be awarded the Blue Flag, a special acknowledgement of quality handed by the Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe.
