beach at Makarska - see the lighthouse out on the point
boardwalk and harbor in the center of town

looking north(ish) across our beach - the lights in the far distance sparkled like jewels

see the concrete platforms on the rocks. These are all over and are used like a beach.

notice the shape of the rocks

The next thing to check off our list of Adriatic sights was a sandy beach. We had seen pictures so new such a thing existed. We found one in Makarska, about ½ way up the coast. Don’t get me wrong – we passed several others but wanted to get up the coast a bit before we stopped for the night. Tourist information came through for us again and found us a room 1 block from the beach. I am not going to go as far as to call it a “sandy” beach. It was small limestone stones with occasional tiny patches of sand. But we loved it. We had dinner at an outside table right on the boardwalk (or limestonewalk, in this case) and for breakfast we found a restaurant with a German style menu. They had country fried potatoes. I love them so much. These were the first we found on our trip.
