Beach in Split

[badgermom]

We would like a relaxing beach day amongst our crazy European touring. I see there are a couple of beaches in or near split. Brac Island and Brela Neach. Has anyone been to these places? WHch is better? How do I get there?

[Daniela32]

Island Brac would be much better than Brela. Ferry boat is within walking distance from your ship. There are ferry boats every hour or less during the summer season and the ride takes about 45-50 minutes.

Daniela,

 

Do you happen to know how i get from the ferry to the beach. Can we walk or take a taxi? What else is there to do near the ferry

 

Thanks for the help.

[Daniela32]

Ferry boat docks in Supetar, small town (but biggest on island). Everything is very close. You'll need to walk about 15 minutes to find a beach.

 

You can find additional info about Supetar here, klick on this link: http://www.bracinfo.com/supetar/

Daniela,

 

We will be visiting yor city on September 25, 2010 aboard the Celebrity Century. We will only be there for the day and wondered what you would suggest? Dubrovniktravellady recommended asking you. We will appreciate any assistance and advice.

Thank you,

Isn't there a beach right in Split that we can hang out at? I thought I read something somewhere about it. Thanks for your help!

[Daniela32]

Yes. If you want to go on foot, there is Bacvice (Bachvitze) Beach 10 minutes walk far from your ship. If you go further the same direction, you'll find more beaches.

 

Or you can go to the Bene Beach by bus number 12. Bus station is on the opposite side of the Riva promenade, near the Sv Frane Church (5 minutes walk).

What about a trip to trogir? Is it worth the journey to go visit it?

Which beach has the clearest water between Brela Beach, Brac Island and Trstenik beach?

[Daniela32]

They're all known for it's crystal clear sea. Brela is too far for cruising guests, there is no highway and you may end up staying for hours on the road in case of minor car accident. Summer crowds on the streets are quite common.

Trstenik beach has a blue flag and is quite close , maybe 5 or 10 minutes drive.

Island Brac is beautiful too.

Thank you so much Daniela! A few follow up questions : )

 

1) Is there any big difference between Brac and Trstenik?

2) How far is Brac Island from the cruise terminal?

3) If we arrive at 7am and leave at 4pm, does that allow us enough time to go to one of these beaches for about 2-3 hours and then have time to walk around the Dioclentian's Palace? Also, how far is the Dioclentian's Palace from the cruise terminal?

 

Thanks again for all of your help. Very much appreciated!

[Daniela32]

Your best option is to go to one of our beaches in Split, Trstenik is in Split, in front of Radisson Blu hotel. This will give you enough time to explore Diocletian palace. Trstenik beach is 10 minutes drive, palace is within 5-10 minutes walking distance.

Island Brac is 50 minutes far, by ferryboat, and I would not suggest you to have unnecessary rush.

Thank you Daniela! We will take your advice and take a taxi to Trstenik and then walk around the palace.

 

Any restaurant recommendations? :)

[Daniela32]

It's not allowed here on CC to give recommendations for restaurants or tour guides by local citizens. But I can highly recommend our seafood as a choice of meal.
