The Dalmatia region

Brac Island has craggy shores and brown rocks, but also boasts wonderful beaches, such as Zlatni Rat (Golden Tongue), a spectacular jewel of nature. This island of stone, sea and sunshine is the largest in central Dalmatia. The limestone karst and scrub alternate with fertile fields in the interior and pine woods on the heights. Villages scattered along the coast and in the interior of Brac Island are like stone monuments, guarding the rich heritage of the past centuries.

Brac Island has had many rulers during its history, but its spirit remains unchanged and is best expressed in its most enduring product-the famous Brac stone. Some of that spirit has been incorporated in historical buildings, such as Diocletian's Palace in Split, and more modern edifices, such as The White House in Washington.

Early Brac history begins with settlements in the Epipaleolithic and Mesolithic periods. Different peoples and cultures have left their stamp on Brac, from the Romans, who established the first stone quarries, making Brac famous far and wide, to the Venetians, Austrians and even the French. In more recent history, Brac Island was affected by huge waves of emigration, particularly between the two World Wars, from which she only slowly recovered. Today, Brac Island is one of the most attractive tourist destinations on the Adriatic.

The Brac climate has all the features of Mediterranean weather and is characterized by 134 days of sunshine annually. Brac enjoys characteristically mild, wet winters and dry, hot summers. Average sea temperatures in summer are around 22°C and on hot days, the sea is refreshing.


Island of Brac / Sumartin area

Sumartin on Brac is the most recent, most easterly settlement, by the eastern point of Brac. In fact, until the 19th century it was known as East Brac. The name Sumartin is linked to immigrants from the Makarska mainland who fled here from the Turkish invasion in 1646 and established a shrine dedicated to St. Martin, one of the saints of their former home. On the site where the medieval church of St. Martin used to stand, there is now a Franciscan monastery, whose foundations were laid in 1747 by the famous Dalmatian poet friar, Andrija Kacic-Miosic.

The village grew steadily and spontaneously on the slopes around the bay and the newcomers lived from fishing, boat building and seafaring. The Lucica boat building yard in Sumartin on Brac, in which traditional wooden boats are built, is today one of very few remaining on the Adriatic. It is also interesting to note that professional fishing the world over benefited from an invention by a man of Brac, Mario Puratic, who emigrated to the United States in 1955 and invented a pulley for dropping and hauling in fishing nets.

Sumartin on Brac has a ferry dock and so, like Supetar and Bol, is one of the entrances to Brac. Although it has good connections with Makarska and is visited by tourist yachts, Sumartin is still a peaceful place to spend a restful holiday. There are some quiet, hidden coves nearby (Rasotica, Zukovik, Radovnja, Studena, Zvirje and Spilice) with sandy or pebble beaches. Sumartin is attractive because it has retained its simplicity, with its lovely beaches, unspoiled nature and crystal clear sea. You can always find fresh fish and other local delicacies, like cheese, honey, lamb and wine. If you want entertainment, you can always go to Bol, one of the best-known Adriatic destinations with a vibrant nightlife and a wide range of sporting activities.
