The youngest and most out of the way settlement on the island of Brac is Sumartin. For a long time, it was cut off from the rest of the island because of its poor connections with the interior of Brac. This has caused Sumartin to develop its own unique mentality, clothing, language dialect, and customs. Most of the residents of Sumartin are farmers, vine growers, olive plantation owners, fishermen, or involved in the tourism trade.
You'll find Sumartin to be a beautiful and pleasant place to visit. A large part of the village can be found on the slope of the old harbor known as Sitno, sheltered away from the strong northern wind. There are many quaint stone houses with trees in between each one,
and there are plenty of cellars and storerooms on the southern side of the town for the local fishermen. You can find two large stone quarries that were used to construct the villager's homes, pave their streets and alleys, and adorn their yards.
There are a few notable places to visit, such as the primary school building near the quarry, a Franciscan Monastery amongst the green oleanders, and a lovely hotel in the lush pine wood on Punta. Beaches like Lucicia and Jezero are gorgeous and wonderful to visit, although the more modern resort town of Bol has the most famous beach on the island, known as Zlatni Rat. Sumartin is the perfect place to visit because it’s far enough from the bustle of the city but close enough to visit by a short 20 minute car ride.
