Bol tourist information
Bol is a town on the south of the island of Brač in the Split-Dalmatia County of Croatia, population 1,661 (2005). Bol (its name derive from the Latin word "vallum") is renowned for its most popular beach, the Zlatni rat ("Golden cape"). It is a promontory composed mostly of pebble rock that visibly shifts with the tidal movement, a unique sight. The sea at Zlatni rat and, indeed, the entire area is quite crystalline (and somewhat colder than usual), due to the strong current of the strait it is situated in. On a still day the stones on the sea-floor that are 30 feet down look only an arm's length away, and there are spectacular pine trees that grow down the middle of Zlatni rat (there is a beach on either side of the horn). Bol itself is a very popular tourist destination and has a number of harbourside bars and restaurants. Bol is a popular place in the Adriatic sea, known for good wind surfing conditions.
