Nature sights
The rock "Kamen Brela"
The symbol of this adriatic pearl which is a part of a beautifull pebble beach and yet somehow secluded, makes for an image any visitor is sure to remember.
There are numerous legends about how this rock found it's place right here, but in any case it's quite a unique occurance.
The Punta Rata beach is the most beautiful beach in Brela which attracts everyone with crystal clear sea and the shade of centuries old pines. Vruja A magnificent place where clifs dive into the sea to depths more than 100m. Unfortunatelly, none of the numerous attempts to identify the exact depth of the water spring were successful.

Vruja
Vruja is a system of water springs or even a part of river Cetina which goes under ground somewhere in the dalmatian hinterland and comes out right here creating a fascinating location for divers. Big flocks of fish that gather here to feed and reproduce create images equal to those one is used to see in stories about the Red sea. IT is exactly because of that why each new dive onemakes here is so uncertain and interesting.
