Dugi Rat

The main tourist office is at Poljička cesta 133 in Dugi Rat, with published office hours from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Seasonal information centres operate in Duće at Vavlje 2 and in Sumpetar on Poljička cesta bb. Because the Adriatic coastal road runs through a continuously built-up strip, use marked crossings when moving between accommodation and the beaches, particularly with children. Shopping, swimming and dinner can all be arranged along the same riviera, but visiting Stare Duće, Krug, Zeljovići or the slopes of Perun involves an uphill walk, suitable footwear or a short drive away from the coast.

The official beach portal marks parking at Bajnice, Krilo, Sumpetar, Dugi Rat Beach, Dugi Rat Glavica and Duće Luka. These areas are the most practical starting points for a swim, although spaces can fill quickly within the riviera’s narrow coastal strip in summer. In the village centre and beside the Adriatic highway, follow local signs carefully because parking bays alternate with bus stops, property entrances and pedestrian routes. For a beach visit, it is safer and more efficient to choose the designated parking attached to a specific bathing area than to search for an informal space beside the busy coastal road.

Dugi Rat sits directly on the Adriatic coastal road between Split and Omiš, so arrival is entirely overland, with no bridge or ferry crossing. Omiš is the nearest urban centre to the south-east, while the north-western route continues through Podstrana towards Split. The same road links Dugi Rat with Duće, Sumpetar, Krilo and Bajnice, although summer congestion can make even short journeys along the riviera slow. Krilo Jesenice harbour provides the maritime connection, serving passenger vessels used for multi-day Adriatic cruises. The old Poljica villages above the coast are reached by local roads that branch steeply inland from the main highway.
