Why it is worth your time
The long stone breakwater shelters Makarska's harbour and doubles as a walk above the sea: open Adriatic on one side, the riva, the old town front and the Biokovo wall on the other. A small harbour light marks the tip, and the Sumartin ferry slides past close enough to wave at. In the evening the town lights mirror in the calm basin.
Croatia Atlas tip
Come just before sunset: Biokovo glows above the town and the ferry comes in with the last light.
