Punta Rata.

Punta Rata captures the classic Dalmatian coast in a single, highly photogenic stretch of the Makarska Riviera. Situated beneath the dramatic cliffs of Biokovo Mountain, this narrow pebble beach is framed by dense pine forests that grow right down to the shore, offering welcome natural shade and a fragrant canopy. What truly sets the beach apart is its exceptionally clear, calm turquoise water—kept pristine by the pebbled seabed—and the iconic Brela Stone, a pine-crowned rocky islet sitting just offshore. It is an ideal spot for a relaxed day of swimming and walking along the seaside promenade. While there are nearby cafes and restaurants, the draw here is entirely natural, offering a clean, sheltered cove that feels worlds away from busier resort strips.
