beach Sveti Rok
Sveti Rok is a small gravel-and-rock beach just minutes from the center of Pučišća on Brač island, prized for its crystal-clear water and picturesque view of the village. It offers a free shower and changing room, a nearby restaurant, and a calm, laid-back atmosphere favored by locals. The ground is hard and rocky, so water shoes and a mat are advisable, and the water drops off steeply near shore.
