Summary
Zlatni rat is a pebble spit on the southern coast of Brač. Its tip shifts under the influence of sea currents, waves and wind, so the shape and direction of the spit can change.
A protected significant landscape along the coast of Bol; the spit is not a fixed geological landform.
History and context
Zlatni rat lies beside Bol on the southern coast of Brač. It was protected in 1965; the land spit is part of a protected area, and the adjacent sea also includes an ecological network site. The name describes the elongated pebble spit, whose shape changes under the action of the sea.
What the site reveals
The pebbles on the spit are linked to erosion on the southern slopes of Vidova gora and deposits carried by torrents, while currents and waves reshape its tip. The public institution More i krš highlights the moving tip as a geomorphological feature. Because the coastline is dynamic, photographs from different years may show a different position and shape.
Location and visiting
Zlatni rat is beside the settlement of Bol and can be reached on foot from the village. The point marks an approximate part of the spit; beach conditions, access and rules for using the coast may change. Visitors should follow local signs and avoid disturbing natural processes or marine habitats.
