Think of a beach that shifts daily, glittering under the sun and gently reaching into the sea—welcome to Zlatni Rat, near Bol on Brač Island. A unique magnetic peninsula, it’s one of the most memorable stops from Split with Split Boat Rentals, whether you’re traveling on a vibrant split boat trip or aboard a refined split yacht rental.
Why Zlatni Rat Stands Out
- Constantly reshaping tip: A natural wonder formed by wind and currents
- Crystal-clear bathing zone: Ideal for paddleboarding, swimming, or floating
- Family-friendly layout: Easy walk to waterside cafés and sun loungers in Bol
No matter how many photos you’ve seen, its shape in real life is jaw-dropping—best seen from the deck or floating off its point.
Getting There from Split
Private Yacht Charter
Your vessel pulls up right at Zlatni Rat’s tip. Danube-sized decks or small yachts alike let you enjoy the full spit—and then retreat to open water for peace.
Shared Boat Tour
The split boat trip typically includes a stop at Bol harbor, offering a local guide’s overview and the option to return at your own pace.
What You Can Do There
- Walk the spit and feel the pebbles shift underfoot
- Rent paddleboards or tour boats right from the beach
- Swim or float in clear, shallow water
- Grab fresh seafood at waterfront taverns in Bol
- Rent bikes or take a bus to inland vineyards overlooking the coast
Zlatni Rat is about both water and waves of culture—between swims, you can wander vineyards or local shops.
A Day Well Planned
10:00 AM – Depart Split; sail southwest with light Mediterranean breeze.
11:30 AM – First glimpse of Zlatni Rat and Bol’s pastel harbor.
12:00 PM – Dock near the beach, stroll the point, maybe lunch on deck.
02:00 PM – Swim off the tip or rent gear for water sports.
04:00 PM – Sip wine in Bol or explore quiet backstreets.
06:00 PM – Head toward sunset on deck, reflecting on the beach’s shape.
In a single day, you trace natural lines and connect with coastal living—not just visit it.
