Shapeshifting shores

What do Dalmatian dogs and the region of Dalmatia have in common? So many wonderful spots to be seen, whether in black and white or blue and green. Or even gold, as in the case of this famous beach dubbed the Golden Cape or Golden Horn. A southerly outcrop of Dalmatia's largest island, it's one of the most photographed destinations in all of Croatia—though due to powerful currents and winds that slice through the adjoining sea channel, its much-hyped trademark shape is always shifting slightly.
