Why it is worth your time
The Sveti Petar Lighthouse stands at the tip of the peninsula that shares its name, a quiet counterpoint to the busy Riva a short walk away. Out here the coastline opens up, with views back toward the old town and the grey wall of Biokovo behind it. A rewarding stop for sunset, when the light over the water is at its best.
Croatia Atlas tip
Time your visit for sunset, the light over the water and the view back toward Biokovo are hard to beat.
