Baška Voda is a small seaside town on the Makarska Riviera, on the Croatian Adriatic coast south of Split. It sits at the foot of Biokovo Nature Park, with pebble beaches facing the island of Brac across a narrow channel.
The town is quieter and more relaxed than neighbouring Makarska, with a pleasant waterfront promenade lined with cafes, a handful of good seafood restaurants, and clear swimming water. The town beach has some of the clearest sea on the riviera, and the pine-shaded coastal path leads north 3 kilometres to the famous beaches at Brela.
Biokovo dominates the landscape inland — the limestone massif rises almost vertically from the shore to 1,700 metres. The Skywalk viewpoint at 1,228 metres offers dramatic views along the coast and out to the islands. The Sveti Ilija Tunnel cuts through the mountain and opens up easy access to the extraordinary Imotski lakes in the hinterland. South of town, the small settlement of Krvavica has a quieter beach and fewer tourists.
