Activities

Fun things to do around Bol Cortia.

Zlatni Rat Beach (3.2 km)

Bol’s iconic Golden Horn is even more stunning in person. The crystal-clear Adriatic water shifts shades of turquoise, and the unique pebble spit stretches out into the sea, changing shape with the wind and currents. It’s perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or trying windsurfing while enjoying one of Croatia’s most photographed beaches.

Borak Beach (900 m)

A relaxed pebble beach just before Zlatni Rat, Borak feels slightly quieter but just as beautiful. The water is incredibly clear, and it’s a great spot for an easy swim. Ideal for a laid-back beach stop close to town.
