Absolutely breathtaking experience at Biokovo Skywalk. The views are out of this world — the Adriatic stretching endlessly below, islands floating in the distance, and the glass platform gives you that amazing thrill without feeling unsafe. But what really stood out to me is how untouched the whole park feels. It’s wild, raw, and real — we even saw horses and cows grazing freely along the mountain roads. That said, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND: this is a nature park, not a polished tourist attraction. This is a narrow, winding mountain road shared by cars, motorcycles, and bicycles — and sometimes horses and cows. GOOD DRIVING SKILLS ARE ESSENTIAL!!! You must be able to handle tight spaces, back up confidently, and park parallel without stress. Most importantly, leave your ego at the entrance. Everyone shares the road equally; no one is more important than anyone else. Be patient, courteous, and respectful toward others — that’s the only way everyone can safely enjoy this beautiful place. We came unprepared without an online ticket, but the staff was very kind and told us we could wait in the parking lot while purchasing it online. We had five minutes to complete the purchase, then joined the line. In total, we waited about an hour. They let in around 20 cars every hour, but it depends on how many visitors are already in the park — people can stay as long as they want, so entrance is regulated to preserve the experience and the environment. Be patient — it’s absolutely worth it.

Amazing view, whole platform have glass panels, so you feel like walking in the sky. Driving up is bit tricky, but worth a it. Go by smaller car. Weather can change in minute, you never know if it will be cloudy or not, take a risk!

We come here every year when we're on vacation. Our favourite restaurant in Makarska with beautiful sunset seaview and the beautiful mountain behind. The food is always good. The waiter and waitress are very friendly. They were also very playful and kind to our son Luka. Love this place and would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

As a live-music, rockband bartender myself, this was definitely the place to go. Although I only went for coffee as it was my last day of vacation; excellent choose in beers, great service, very good taste in rock music playlists, plenty of seating inside and out, wonderful atmosphere and creatively decorated bathroom! (Ladies, idk about the men's).

A beautiful park close to Makarska. It’s a vast area with plenty of spots for walking, biking, relaxing, and enjoying the stunning views. You can access this wonderful place from the port side of Makarska. Highly recommended for everyone!

Typical Mall “American Style”. It’s very convenient that Müller is here (on two floors), you have several clothing stores (I was so happy to find Intersport here!) and a huge supermarket that is open till late. Some parking options outside before the building, a larger parking area on the lower level (basement). Here you can also “cash in” old, empty cans and plastic bottles. You also find a cafe on the upper floor, a car rental and a tech-store. For rainy days and shopping trips.

Beautiful beach — about a 30-minute walk through the park from Osejava beach, right at the end of the port in Makarska. Super easy trail, even with small kids. Gorgeous cliffs, colors, and views all along the way. Lots of shade and a few benches here and there. The beach itself is amazing — next to a big rock wall, with plenty of trees and spots to hide from the sun. Even in May, with maybe 20-30 people around, there were a few nudists. The wall has spray-painted signs saying “no nudists,” but they’re crossed out — so yeah, looks like there’s been some kind of back-and-forth about it. Either way, the beach is super accessible, which makes it kinda awkward when older naked dudes just hang out in plain sight while there are kids around. Not cool. But hey, that’s on the people, not the place. The beach itself? Brilliant. Just check out the photos. Easy walk into the water, crystal clear sea. Really, really nice.

Definitely the best grill in Makarska! My girlfriend who has never liked fish before, fell in love with their Dorada. The host was very friendly and gave us free drinks. Highly recommend Vucko!

One of the best fast food places we have ever been. The wok noodles were amazing, and the pizza was just great. You guys did a very good job and I wish you a great business. We will come back.

Really interesting, super comfy, and most importantly — absolutely delicious restaurant right at the end of the main promenade, where the port wraps up and the park trail to Nugal Beach begins. Right next to the big corner parking lot. It’s not right in the middle of the busiest pedestrian zone, which actually works in its favor — you’ll find plenty of garden seating and a good number of tables inside too. Technically it's called street food, but the quality is way above what you'd usually associate with that label. The menu is super diverse — from chicken to sushi — and everything was well-prepared, nicely plated, and served with great care. The waiter took excellent care of us, really made the whole experience pleasant. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

We wanted somewhere that the local people go, our guide had lived in Makarska for two years suggested that we eat here. Just up from the main waterfront. I asked for there most recommended meal, Fish with a salt crust, our fish was Bream. Takes 25mins, but it was worth waiting for, they gave us bread and dips, to eat while we waited. I ordered their local white wine, like a New Zealand Chardonnay. The ceremony releasing the fish from the salt crust was an event, and the way the fish was served very special. Service very attentive and always checked we were ok. The bill was fair for what we had.

🏖️ Makarska Beach – The Adriatic’s Underrated Coastal Treasure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) If you're searching for a beach that gives you crystal-clear water, mountain views, and peaceful energy all in one — Makarska Beach in Croatia is your dream come true. 🌊✨ Located right along the sparkling Dalmatian Coast, this beach blends natural charm with modern comfort, offering a complete coastal experience that’s both relaxing and Instagram-worthy. Despite not being as world-famous as beaches in Greece or Italy, Makarska’s shoreline easily competes — and in some ways, exceeds expectations. --- 🌊 Water & Shoreline The water at Makarska Beach is incredibly transparent — you can see straight to the bottom, even several meters deep. It ranges from emerald green to sapphire blue, changing shades as the sun shifts through the day. Unlike sandy beaches, this one is covered with smooth white pebbles, which might feel strange underfoot at first, but they help keep the water cleaner and less cloudy. Bring water shoes if you're sensitive, but most locals and regular travelers enjoy the pebbles as part of the authentic Dalmatian experience. 👣 The waves are calm, making it perfect for families with kids, older travelers, or anyone just wanting to float and relax. There are no dangerous drops, so you can wade in safely for several meters. --- 🏖️ Facilities & Comfort Makarska Beach is well-developed without feeling over-commercialized. You'll find: 🪑 Lounge chairs and umbrellas for rent (affordable daily rates) 🚿 Showers and changing cabins every few meters 🚽 Public restrooms that are reasonably clean 🧃 Kiosks and beach bars serving fresh juices, snacks, and local ice cream 🚑 Lifeguards are stationed during peak hours Everything is walkable and organized — the beach stretches long but never feels too packed. You’ll always find a spot whether you arrive early or late. --- 🧘 Vibe & Atmosphere One of the most magical things about this beach is the peaceful vibe it carries. It's not too loud, not overly touristic, and most people are here to chill, swim, sunbathe, or read a book. The only sounds you'll hear are waves, gentle music from beach cafés, and the distant laughter of children playing. 💆‍♂️🌞 And then there's the view — directly behind you rise the Biokovo mountains, creating a stunning contrast of blue water and jagged green cliffs. At sunset, the whole beach turns golden-orange, and the reflection on the water makes it feel like you're swimming in liquid light. 🌅 --- 📸 Photography & Content Tips If you're a content creator or aspiring Google Local Guide: Golden hour shots here will blow up your photo views 📈 A drone view captures the beach curve and mountain range — iconic! The water texture and boat shadows create perfect depth for vertical shots Pro tip: early morning (7–9 am) and pre-sunset (5–7 pm) give the best natural lighting without harsh glare. --- 🧃 Food & Local Vendors There are local stalls just off the beach path selling: Fresh cut fruits like watermelon and pineapple 🍉🍍 Dalmatian seafood snacks (small fried anchovies, calamari) 🐟 Homemade ice cream in Croatian flavors like fig and lavender 🍦 Nearby cafés offer espresso, cocktails, and light meals with shaded seating. One spot even lets you sip fresh lemonade with your feet in the sand! --- 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Ideal For: Families with kids (safe, calm water) Couples (romantic, clean, peaceful) Solo travelers (friendly, relaxed) Elderly tourists (easy access, seats, soft vibe) --- 📍 Final Verdict Makarska Beach isn’t just a place to swim — it’s a multi-sensory escape. It combines the feel of a quiet cove with the convenience of a developed promenade. The combination of crystal water, white stone coast, green pine trees, and majestic cliffs makes it one of the best-kept secrets of the Adriatic. ✅ If you’re traveling through Croatia and want one beach that gives you everything — come to Makarska. Stay for the view. Swim for the soul. --- Let me know if you'd like a similar in-depth review for: 🏰 Stirling Castl

We were a group of 7 people, and we all loved the service here. The owner and his daughter did everything to make us feel welcome and have a great dinner. The food was top, the service was amazing. This has to be a must for every turist in Makarska

I had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant, and I must say—everything about the experience was top-notch. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, attentive service that set the tone for the evening. Our waiter Dragan was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cared about making our visit special. The food was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish we tried was expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. You can tell the chefs use high-quality ingredients and put thought into every element of the menu. The atmosphere was another highlight—elegant yet cozy, with tasteful decor and just the right lighting to make the space feel both intimate and vibrant. Whether you're on a date, with family, or out with friends, it's the kind of place that elevates the occasion. Despite the high quality of both service and cuisine, the prices were surprisingly reasonable. It’s rare to find a spot that delivers such a complete dining experience without breaking the bank. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be returning soon!

Amazing craft beer and delicious food! Hops is hands down one of the best places in Makarska! They brew their own craft beer, which is super tasty and pairs perfectly with their food. I’ve tried all the burgers from the menu — each one was absolutely delicious! The pizza is also amazing, and the fries… wow — super crispy and full of flavor. Their sauces are great too. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality food and drinks in a cozy, welcoming place.

I have been coming to this little pearl of a museum for years since I have been a child and it never fails to charm me and make me wish mermaids are real and I can grow a tail. It is a bit raw and not particularly polished but I feel that is part of its charm. It obviously was a labor of love. And the little courtyard where the museum is set is just so pretty, just wished it is used a bit differently.

The signboard out front said this used to be a cathedral until 1969. It is very beautiful, not like other Roman Catholic churches where every square inch is covered in art. It was quiet and peaceful. It is surprisingly large as from the outside, it looks rather small.

Great views, the outdoor seating is on a platform so you can see over the cars better than the neighboring restaurants. The Sea Bream fish was excellent, tender and no fishy taste or smell. It was brought out while and filleted tableside.

Delicious chicken kebab so many flavours and lots of salad. Huge portions it was enough for two meals! The lady working was so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend for a quick bite to eat!

An excellent restaurant in the center of Makarska Riviere. The staff was very nice, responded quickly and the operator, it was nice here.
