Overview

Bol, located on Brač island, is famous for its Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn) beach that juts out into the Adriatic Sea facing south. The Maestral (northwest thermal wind) blows regularly in the afternoon during summer, offering ideal conditions for kitesurfing. The spot is suitable for intermediate and advanced riders due to currents and possible waves. The water is crystal clear and the view of the Hvar channel is spectacular.
