The beaches are usually shingle or pebble smoothed by the sea into rounded shapes which are comfortable to lie and walk on. The white beaches fringed by thick pine forests and the refreshing crystal clear waters are among the main attractions of the Makarska Riviera. Here are some of the best of the beaches.<\/h2><p><strong>Dugi rat Beach (ex Punta Rata Beach), Brela<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 This beach is regularly nominated as one of the loveliest in Europe, if not the world. Its white shingle turns into coarse sand at the water\u2019s edge, making it ideal for children. It\u2019s backed by pine trees which provide welcome shade when the sun is at its strongest, a perfect spot for an afternoon nap. This is the beach where you\u2019ll find the Rock of Brela sitting just off the shore, covered in ancient crooked pines. As the beach is in the centre of the pleasant resort of Brela, there are plenty of restaurants and caf\u00e9s along the waterfront as well as sports equipment for hire.<\/p><p><strong>\u017divogo\u0161\u0107e Beach, \u017divogo\u0161\u0107e<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; Olive trees and pine forests grow alongside the lovely shingle beach at \u017divogo\u0161\u0107e, so this beach is a great place to keep your cool and take a refreshing dip on even the hottest day. Nearby Hotel Nimfa is a good place to find something to eat and drink, and has tennis courts, an open-air swimming pool and other leisure facilities.<\/p><div class=\"vlp-link-container vlp-layout-basic wp-block-visual-link-preview-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/en\/travel-lifestyle\/hiking-in-and-around-zagreb\/\" class=\"vlp-link\" title=\"Hiking in and around Zagreb\"><\/a><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-side\"><div class=\"vlp-block-2 vlp-link-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150\/100;max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" data-src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad.jpg 1780w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 150px;\" width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-150x999 size-150x999\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad.jpg 1780w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the-slovenia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/0099-samoborski-stari-grad-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vlp-layout-zone-main\"><div class=\"vlp-block-0 vlp-link-title\">Hiking in and around Zagreb<\/div><div class=\"vlp-block-1 vlp-link-summary\">If you\u2019re a fan of the great outdoors and you enjoy a good walk in the hills, the closest\u00a0hiking\u00a0spot is of course\u00a0Mount Medvednica, which is crisscrossed by about 70\u00a0hiking\u00a0trails of varying lengths and degrees of difficulty.
