Depth increases moderately from the shoreline, creating conditions suitable for snorkeling and shallow-water activities. Visitor reports consistently note the striking clarity of the water, though the pebble surface may make it less comfortable for prolonged sunbathing.Swimming and shore
The beach's waters are frequently described as exceptionally clear, with one reviewer noting 'crystal clear and warmer than other beaches on Brač.' Snorkeling, surfing, and kayaking are available, with the shallow depths supporting these activities. However, the pebble beach may present challenges for those seeking soft sand for relaxation.Facilities and activities

Reviews
In my opinion one of the best beach on this side of island. Beautiful color of water and its really clear. There is also a little bar, beer cost 4€, if you want to eat something they also offering food.
Water 10/10 View 8/10 Beach 5/10 Infrastructure 1/10 Absolutely clear water and beautiful scenery. Beach itself is a small stone beach and not that comfortable but parking is quite close and free (but the parking spaces are very limited). While there is a small bar, there is no infrastructure like toilets or showers at the beach or anywhere in range
Great beach. One of the best water experiences on the island. Greta colours, temperature and views. Slightly ruined by the water playground for kids, who seemed to have better fun in the water. The playground is not a good idea for younger ones, so it made even less sense in general. The beach features a little bar that lacks beer in busier days, but it's pretty nice anyway.
Pleasant beach. You can park cca 100m from there, easy to walk, but might be difficult if you have a baby buggy. Dont expect shadow, but waters are crystal clear and warmer than other beaches on Brač. Split-Dalmatia
