Martinica Beach

The atmosphere here is unique, and with the picturesque monastery building, it just looks like a picture from a postcard.

If you like snorkeling, you will find good spots to observe the underwater world on the side edge.
Tip: The Apartments Villa Miranda offer beautiful apartments in a top location. From here you can walk to Martinica Beach as well as the beautiful Bijela Kuca Beach in a short time.
Zlatni Rat Beach
The Zlatni Rat Beach, also called the Golden Horn, is certainly Bol’s most famous beach. It is located about 2 kilometers west of the resort and can be reached by foot via the picturesque waterfront. It bears its name “Golden Horn” due to its unusual appearance: it has got the form of a huge golden-yellow sickle that stretches around 500 meters into the azure sea. Due to this magnificent backdrop, the picture of the Zlatni Rat Beach has already become a symbol of Croatia and, therefore, it adorns most postcards here in Bol.
Tip: The BRETANIDE Sport & Wellness Resort – All Inclusive is located close to the Golden Horn and convinces with a beautiful pool and wellness program.
Bijela Kuca Beach
One of the best beaches in Bol is the Bijela Kuca, which means something like the “White House”. Here you can bathe in the crystal-clear sea and at the same time enjoy a panorama as beautiful and unique as pictures that you see in travel magazines. The sea glitters in the most beautiful shades of blue, green pine trees line the beach and the small striking stone house and the beautiful Dominican monastery create a very special atmosphere. This wonderful beach is only 500 meters from Bol and can be reached quickly from the harbor.
Tip: There are many accommodations around the center of Bol. We can recommend Apartments Laguna, which offers a fantastic sea view!
Borak Beach
The Borak Beach is certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in Bol. It is located close to the Golden Horn and offers a wide range of water sports and activities. For example, you can go windsurfing here, but there is also a diving school right next to the beach. There are also a couple of great bars and restaurants that you can enjoy behind the beach of Borak. The scenery overlooking the Golden Horn is also gorgeous here and invites you to daydream.
Murvica Beach
Another highlight of the best beaches near Bol is definitely the Murvica beach. This small hidden bay is an insider tip for everyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of the main beaches. It is located directly below the village of the same name, Murvica, just a few kilometers from the center. Parking spaces are available on site. A short walk downhill leads you to the beach. Down there, you can enjoy a very fine pebble beach, embedded in the hilly landscape of the vineyards. If you are looking for a real beach highlight, then you should certainly visit Murvica Beach on your holiday in Bol.
Slatina Beach (Nudist Beach)
The nudist beach Slatina is one of the most beautiful natural bays around Bol, and nudists will especially enjoy this beautiful stretch of coast. The beach is located about 6 km away from the center of the tourist village and it can only be reached by a gravel road. There are only a few parking spaces, from which a small path leads to the beach. Probably due to its secluded location, this stunning beach is often deserted and promises nude bathing at its best.
Paklina Beach (Nudist Beach)
The Paklina Beach is a very popular nudist beach in Bol, which is located only 200 meters to the west of the famous Zlatni Rat. It is one of the most popular nudist beaches, as the backdrop of the Golden Horn is a real highlight. This beach is a fine pebble beach with plenty of shade provided by green pine trees. The sea is also turquoise and crystal clear, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
Tip: The Villa Paola offers a stunning view and top equipment and is highly recommended! Furthermore, the Villa is located in the area behind the beach.
