This list is kicking off with Zlatni Rat, an iconic and recognizable beach located off the coast of the Croatian island of Brač. Sometimes referred to as the Golden Cape or Golden Horn, the island is shaped almost similar to an arrowhead and is an ideal length for taking a lengthy, scenic walk with that special someone. The water here is a little on the cooler side some days, but that does not stop the steady stream of eager beach-goers looking for a great tan and a quick dip. Windsurfers are also drawn to this hub due to the Westerly wind that breezes through Maestral—surf’s up, dude!
