Brač is an island which lies 10 miles SE of the city of Split on the mainland coast of Croatia, immediately E of the smaller island of Šolta, from which it is separated by a channel barely half a mile wide, and directly N of the island of Hvar. The third largest of the Croatian islands after Cres and Krk, with an area of just under 400 square km, Brac is also a very popular resort island.
The stunning beach of Zlatni Rat near Bol is famous worldwide as one of the highlights of Croatia’s tourist promotion and Brac’s population of 14,400 increases by a factor of three to four during the busy summer period. Vidova Gora, the highest point on the island, at 778 metres, is also the highest peak in all the Croatian islands.
Historically, Brač was famous for goats; even Pliny comments that from the island of Brattia (the Latin name for the island) comes excellent cheese, wine and olive oil. The island’s main claim to fame though is the quality of its pure white limestone, which has been quarried since Roman times and found its way into buildings as varied as Diocletian’s palace in Split and the White House in Washington DC.
Brač is well supplied with mooring facilities for the cruising yachtsman, with ten harbours, two marinas and numerous anchorages around its deeply indented coastline.

The best shelter is in the westernmost branch of the inlet, where there are a restaurant and several mooring buoys for visiting yachts.
Alternatively, anchor with a line ashore in this or the next branch to the E. Depths are 10-12 metres and the holding is good in sand and weed. The anchorage becomes uncomfortable with fresh to strong S winds.U. Smirka
