Zlatni Rat on Brač Island, Croatia
Perhaps you guessed, like we did, that this white-pebble beach surrounded by turquoise surf was a balmy tropical locale in the Caribbean. But Zlatni Rat, aka the Golden Cape, juts southward into the Adriatic Sea, across from the eastern Italian coast. It’s a popular vacation spot, and for good reason. Windsurfing conditions are ideal, and if the beach doesn’t interest you, Brač Island has lush Mediterranean pine groves and small fishing villages.
