Plaza Miral KAMPOR 452, Supetarska Draga
Nestled along the southern coast of the island of Brac, Plaza Miral stretches 50 meters along a straight shoreline with a 10-meter width. This gray sand beach is flanked by natural mountain shade and offers a smooth, gradual depth increase that makes it particularly suitable for families with children. Located in the Supetarska Draga area, the beach is part of a coastal stretch known for its clear waters and proximity to traditional Dalmatian settlements.
Beach character
The beach's gray sand composition contrasts with the typical white sands of the Adriatic, creating a distinctive visual identity. The seabed combines sand and boulders, with reviewers noting the presence of slippery stones near the shore that require caution. The beach is described as 'shallow for quite a long stretch' with depths reaching waist-high in some areas, though the bottom transitions smoothly to deeper waters further out. Natural shade from surrounding mountains provides relief during peak sun hours, though no artificial shade structures are reported.
Swimming and shore
The beach's depth profile is a key feature for families, with water depths increasing gradually and remaining shallow for extended distances. Reviewers consistently mention the suitability for children, with one noting 'ideal for swimming with children or playing in the water.' The sandy bottom is described as 'sandy with a long descent to depth,' though the transition zone near the shore contains rocky elements that require careful navigation. The sea is reported as 'clean' in all reviews, with no mention of strong currents or wave action that would hinder swimming.
