Top LGBTQ Beaches in Croatia
Located on the island of Brac off the coast of Split, Zlatni Rat Beach – also called Golden Horn Beach or Golden Horn and originally called Dugi Rat and Long Cape – is a 500-meters-long, popular, and south-facing beach with gravel, some light-brown sand, many pebbles, and nearby pine trees in Croatia. This pebble beach has a unique shape, which resembles the English alphabet “V” and it is located near the town of Bol. The tip of this V-shaped beach seasonally changes in size and shape because of natural wind and water movements – the tip of this V-shaped beach is usually straight in the summer. However, its tip sometimes turns eastwards in early summer and it sometimes turns westwards in autumn.
