Beaches
The city of Makarska and the Makarska Riviera have lots of beautiful pebble stone beaches with a length of almost 45 kilometers. The sea is clean and clear. The average temperature of the sea during the summer is 22- 23 degrees.
The sea is skin- deep in the first couple of meters and from the surface you can see the multifarious sea- bottom. If it’s getting too hot for you, you can go into the shadow of the pine trees or strengthen yourself in one of the near beach bars that you can find at every step.
