Zlatni Rat

The Zlatni Rat, often referred to as the Golden Cape or Golden Horn (translated from the local Chakavian dialect), is a spit of land located about 2 kilometres (1 mile) west from the harbour town of Bol on the southern coast of the Croatian island of Brač, in the region of Dalmatia.

The farthest end, which is usually turned slightly toward the east, will often shift to the west in certain weather conditions, esp.

In summer the spit is either straight or turned to east due to daily afternoon west thermic wind Maestral.

During extreme weather with stormy winds and waves, the top can shift from one side to the other in a matter of hours.
