Once an island of farmers, cattle breeders, fishermen and stone masons, it is today turned to tourism but has not forgotten or given up on its traditions.The most famous tourist symbol of Brač is most certainly the beach Zlatni Rat in Bol. But the whole island is full of beautiful beaches (Banj, Bili Rat, Lovrečina, Gumonca, Likva, Bunta, Mala Lozna, Lovrečina, Murvica, Luke) and bays, while the crystal blue sea, the unique gastronomy offer and the hospitality of the locals give it a recognizable feel which results in more and more guests coming every year.

The currents flowing around the islands are strong, and the passages between them shallow which makes it impossible for larger ships to appriach the Paklinski islands.

The grotto is one of the best known natural beauty spots on the Adriatic and a popular show cave because of the glowing blue light that appears at certain times of day. Depending on the season, the ideal moment to visit the cave is between 11 a.m. and 12 noon. At this time of day the sunlight reflects through the water coming from the white floor of the cave and bathes the grotto in aquamarine light, while objects in the water appear to be silver. The cave receives more than 10,000 tourist visits every year, and tourist boats often include a visit to another similar cave on the island, the Zelena špilja (English: The Green Grotto), which is bigger in size and appears to be of an emerald-green tone due to a similar effect.
