Its combination of natural beauty, unique geomorphology, and picturesque surroundings make Zlatni Rat a must-visit destination in Croatia and the wider Mediterranean region[7].
Zlatni Rat beach is ideal for swimming and kite-surfing, making it a popular attraction for tourists[8]. Above the beach, a pine forest offers a stunning view of Hvar, adding to the overall charm of the location[9].
The New York Times' American journalists have written about Zlatni Rat beach, acknowledging its popularity and international recognition[10]. Boats and ferries regularly connect Brač with the mainland, and a tourist train is also available to reach Zlatni Rat beach from the town of Bol[11].
This expansion of The New York Times' list of notable beaches to include beaches in Albania, France, Greece, Italy, and Norway highlights the growing popularity of these countries' beaches[12]. The recognition of Zlatni Rat beach in Croatia further solidifies its status as one of the best European beaches in 2025.
