Lonely Planet objavio je knjigu u kojoj predstavlja 100 najlepših plaža na svetu. Među njima su i Zlatni rat i Punta Rata u Hrvatskoj, kao i Sveti Stefan u Crnoj Gori.
„Ovo je vrhunska kolekcija peska, kamena i mora koju svet može da ponudi“, navodi Lonely Planet u uvodniku knjige „100 of the World’s Most Incredible Beaches“. Jedna od izabranih je i Sveti Stefan.
„Utvrđeno ostrvsko naselje Sveti Stefan iz 15. veka (sada privatno luksuzno odmaralište) čini spektakularnu pozadinu ovog jadranskog bisera. Preko puta ostrva okruženog plavo-zelenim morem, netaknuta šljunkovita i peščana plaža prostire se dužinom malog, zakrivljenog kopnenog zaliva“, piše Lonely Planet.
Na listi su se našle i dve hrvatske plaže – Zlatni rat (Bol, Brač) i Punta Rata (Brela, Makarska rivijera).
Zlatni rat je šljunčana plaža koja se proteže u more stalno menjajući oblik pod uticajem vetrova, talasa i morskih strujanja. „Najfotografiranija plaža u Hrvatskoj nikada ne razočara. Pratite šetalište s mirisom borovine od primorskog Bola do ovog predivnog prostranstva finog, mekog šljunka, kojeg zapljuskuje plavo more. Njegov zadivljujući V-oblik se menja i pomera s plimama i strujama Jadranskog mora. Vetrovita istočna strana plaže je glavno mesto za surfere“, pisao je Lonely Planet ranije.
Punta rata je plaža smeštena na rtu, prekrivena mirisnom borovom šumom i palmama, a njen zaštitni znak je kamen Brela.
