- Rachel SBunbury, Australia96 contributionsUnique spot, Bring your own everythingNot as big as we thought. Great that you can decide on the side depending where the wind is coming from. Heaps of boats anchored just the other side of the swimming rope. A couple of expensive bars. Sun loungers and umbrella available, but very expensive. Most laid on the stones, under the trees. Water is crystal clear.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 2 June 2023
- Bonymerlin111Manchester, United Kingdom189 contributionsA little disappointingLovely walk to here from Bol centre, but sadly feel the beach is a bit over hyped. The fact it is stony wasn’t really an issue for us, but it just really didn’t have the wow factor we were expecting. Worth a visit for a few quick photos, but we didn’t stay long.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 20 June 2023
- 66bellaYork, United Kingdom105 contributionsUnderwhelming gravel tipWhat an underwhelming beach . Walked for miles to get there . An overcrowded gravel pit of a place . People vying to squash under trees to get shade. Overpriced sunbeds . Loud bar . Definitely not worth the trip. Best bit was the water taxi we took to return to the town.Visited July 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 5 July 2023
- InaH189Shkoder, Albania1,351 contributionsAn extraordinary experience!A very beautiful beach,a pebble beach where you can enjoy the crystal waters of Zlatni Rat Beach. Surrounded by a lot of restaurants located among the trees,they were all the time full of peolple.People found themselves in different sports,such as:windsurf,water cycling. There was a buggy that worked to transport people from the beach.Visited July 2023Written 17 July 2023
- PinkLauBelfast, United Kingdom37 contributionsBeautiful beach, excellent facilitiesBeautiful beach, and our favourite beach that we visited out of Bol/Hvar/Split- mainly due to the excellent facilities. Lots of sunbeds to rent, which are cheaper compared to Hvar. Lots of shady places available to sit. There is an amazing selection of food stalls and restaurants in the woodland area in the centre of the beach. Toilets are very clean, with showers available (have to pay but worth it for the cleanliness). Also a children’s park area, as well as areas to hire kayaks and paddle boards.Visited July 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 22 July 2023
- Karen SLondon, United Kingdom40 contributionsAbsolutely gorgeous beach. Expensive but clean and good funMy family had a lovely day at this beach. It is expensive, but most of Croatia is in tourist season. It’s quite crowded but again, nothing unusual about that. But it is also charming, exceptionally clean and well maintained, excellent facilities and really lovely to spend time there. We took a boat from Split and then a stupidly expensive taxi (try and work out a better way of getting around!) but it was worth it in the end. One side of the beach is calm water, perfect for little kids and gentle swimming. The other has loads of waves for the bigger kids to throw themselves into. The food area is immaculate with loads of amazing options - my kids had a pizza, I had a healthy chia seed fruit bowl! There’s also a very relaxed each bar with tunes and big bean bags. My kids said it was their favourite day of the holiday :)Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 24 August 2023
- pinkswedeBramhult, Sweden7 contributionsDream beach!Beautiful spot! The best view of the beach is from viewpoint, more difficult to get good overview photos from beach level.. many nice relax areas, food trucks and two very nice and comfortable coffe/restaurants. Ok restroms. Parking 20,- EUR for full day, 1 h 5 EUR. Nice sunbeds, some deluxe options available. Highly recommend to spend a beach day here!Visited August 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 25 August 2023
- barb11172016Franklin, Tennessee161 contributionsRat BeachA beautiful beach and the water is so clear. It drops off rapidly in the water. It is rocky but not with sharp rocks. We rented one of the cabanas for 40€, well worth it. The sun gets hot, so well worth being under the cabana. Walk the promenade to get to the beach. A lot of interesting stands along the way. A fun beach day!Visited August 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 26 August 2023
- ghanbgNuremberg, Germany685 contributionsWorth the tripYes, it’s not cheap to park here or get a sun lounger and in the peak of the season it’s probably too full. But.. it IS a beautiful beach, you can swim out quite far, and if you get tired of the crowds just move west a bit to the coves near to it. We were glad we came!Visited September 2023Travelled with familyWritten 2 September 2023
- Daniel B19 contributionsSo lovely. A MUST VISIT.Such a beautiful spot. Lovely clear sea to enjoy. Water sport activities for the adventurous and good food huts. We sat on the east side close to the sea on a (paid hire) sun lounger. We found between the southern point of the woodland and the inflatable water park at the top seemed to be sheltered from the breeze which made us more comfortable. We visited a few times in our week in Bol and found that different times of day meant different things to enjoy. Being here as the sun went down was magical, as was being here early before it got busy and when it was busy it is nice just floating about in the sea.Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 4 September 2023

One of the most beautiful beaches, certainly in Croatia, if not in the world. Stunning clear sea to swim or paddle in. There are water sport activities around the beach and food huts in the tree line where you can also get shade. We found the east side close to the sea was relatively sheltered by the tress in terms of wind and we sat on a (paid hire) sun lounger. During our holiday on Brac we visited a few times at different times of day and all had their magical appeal - sun rise and sun set are pretty.

We drove to the southern part of the island, to spend the afternoon at a very unusual beach beach - Zlatni Rat or Golden Horn Beach. The long V shaped beach that pokes into the sea. It is located on the cape that has the same name. The beach has become a popular local landmark because it changes its shape every day due to the action of waves and wind which have a direct influence on formation of the cape.
If you do decide to spend some time here, bring plenty of cash, parking was 20E, 2 chairs and an umbrella 36E. 1E to use the restroom – but regardless of the sticker shock, we enjoyed our afternoon.
The pebbly beach is quite large but bring water booties if you plan to go into the water. This is a pebble beach with no sand in sight. The area is surrounded by a small treed area that contains numerous eateries as well as a restroom with showers (all fee based).
The beach is framed by turquoise clear water and we enjoyed walking along the water’s edge from one end to the other. This beach is located just outside of Bol – about a 20 minute walk. Although the distance from Supetar (where the ferry will drop you off), is not far, the roads are twisty, there are no straight roads anywhere on the island, but the drive was spectacular.

What a disappointment. Another stony beach with beach bar, sun loungers etc. It might look great from the air in winter but forget it in summer. The town of Bol nearby was very nice.

We visited 19/09/22.
We arrived at Bol on the island of Brač where we had just under 4 hours to visit as we were on an island hopping excursion.
There were water taxis and a land trainb but we decided to walk the length of the island, looking in local stores and map reading along the way. We wanted to make the most of it. We made it to the famous golden horn beach where we sat and took in the beautiful clear waters and views. The beach itself was slightly underwhelming. It was stoney and really difficult to walk on without shoes (I guess we figured out why sea shoes were in every shop here, lol). But the sea itself was beautiful and clear.
We decided to treat ourselves to take the water taxi back to the boat marina as the dock was right on the beach, which was really convenient.

Nice beach with plentey of facilities for hiring sunbeds and water sports plus bars and food stalls and toilets but very expensive 34 euros to hire 2 beds and a brolly which is about £31 that leaves a bitter pill to swallow especially if you're a family but since Croatia adopted the Euro everything is extremely expensive making a holiday here out of reach for many

Amazing beach. Pebbles, heat and clear warm waters. The coverage from the trees really helps to break the intense sunshine. Plus lots of beach bars and activities to keep you occupied.

Avoid this beach. It is extremely expensive, €20 car park, €36 sunbeds and even the nerve to charge €1 to go to the loo! We stayed for a very short amount of time as the beach was really not worth the expense (we didn’t pay for a sunbed). Totally overrated and completely spoilt beach.

Our idea of hell. Dropped off on a boat trip with the description of the most beautiful beach on the Croatian islands. Met with a sea of umbrellas and sun beds and people fighting for a square metre of space to put a towel down. Beach and entry to sea is very gravelly so beach shoes would be recommended. We lasted less than an hour and headed back on the water taxi to Bol. Be aware that the water taxi may drop you off at a different place to where it picked you up - we were totally disoriented and nearly missed our boat home. In summary a very crowded beach filled by the constant arrival of numerous boat trips. Lots of food outlets, music and activities but not what we look for in a beach. Must be spoiled by our beautiful Scottish beaches.

Sorry to put up another post but was wondering if anyone could help me. We are coming in may 3-10th and were we was staying when we originally booked the holiday it was porec. We found a lot of the trips we wanted to do we wouldn’t be able to do them as we was at the opposite side and all the companys i contacted said we are too far away we need to be in split area.
Anyway now we have completely changed our holiday from the date the airport and to
Location. We are now staying at the medora auri hotel in podgora to which companies are now saying we have a better chance at doing trips.
We so want to visit this beach but we are being quoted ridiculously expensive. For half a day its 150 euros or for whole day265 euros. (This is for both not each but still i think thats so expensive).
All we want to do is get to the beach and spend the day there no tour guide just a simple drop of and see you later when they pick up. Are we going to find a way there any cheaper as this holiday already has cost more than when we usually go away for 2 weeks and just normally were only going for a week.
Sorry for a long post. I actually may put this on the forum just incase this doesnt get seen and may get different answers too. Hoping for advice thanks in advance

You can get the high speed ferry from split to bol then a short 10 min water taxi to the rat or walk through the paved woodland path. Ferries are not expensive or take the car ferry from split to supertar then taxi or bus to bol. It should be no where near 150 euro the car ferry was about 6 euro last year one way for foot passenger takes about 50 mins. See the lladrolinja time tables online for jnfo.the bus is a lot cheaper than the taxi.

We are coming to Croatia Porec in May and would love to visit this beach. We do have a car hire however its a very long drive. Is there either a trip excursion or just a boat we can catch to get here to spend the day. Thanks
