Brist Coat of Arms

Brist is a small tourist place in Split-Dalmatia County. It is located at the foot of the impressive mountain Biokovo, on the southernmost part of the Makarska Riviera in the municipality of Gradac. The place of Brist is named after the elm tree (Croatian word - brijest), and it is first mentioned in 1571. However, the settlement is much older, as evidenced by numerous archeological finds, and was located inland on the slopes of Biokovo, as well as all the other old settlements of the Makarska Riviera. The present place of Brist was formed in the late 19th century when the population moved along the coast. The interesting thing about Brist is that there are more registered beds in private accommodation than residents (only about 400 inhabitants). Those looking for a good night's fun will find plenty of options in nearby Makarska.

Beaches in Brist

The entire length of the place stretches a beautiful pebble beach ideal for families with children, offering an unforgettable view of the island of Brač and Hvar. Along the beach, there is a promenade that connects neighboring places of Podaca and Gradac and is ideal for pleasant walks at sunset. Find your perfect accommodation next to the sea in Brist and enjoy the peaceful pebble shores.
