About Dugi Rat
Dugi Rat is a low-key coastal municipality in the historic Poljica area, taking in seaside settlements such as Jesenice and Duće at the foot of the Mosor mountains. Duće splits into a modern tourist part by the sea and an older rural settlement. The beaches total about 3 km, a mix of pebble and sand, and have beach bars, restaurants and facilities for children. The homes are grouped close together and mostly sleep three to six. Evenings mean a tavern dinner of Dalmatian food; for anything livelier you head along the coast.
