Tucepi (population 1800) is located 5 km south east of Makarska. Until
the earthquake of 1962, the majority of its inhabitants were living in
hamlets at the foot of the mnt. Biokovo. Now a popular tourist
destination thanks to its glorious coastline, its opportunities for
sports and its excellent accomodation, the settlement of Tucepi was
first settled four thousand years ago by the Illyrians. Tucepi is one of the most beautiful and famous vacation places
on the Adriatic, with numerous hotels and family houses which offer
diversified accomodation. The modern settlement of Tucepi, situated in
the south of the area, along the 4 kilometres of mild, cultivated
pebbly shore, seeks its prosperity in tourism.

Brela are 15km northwest of Makarska. Brela are surrounded by the longest
and loveliest coastline in Dalmatia. 6 kilometers of pebble beaches
curve around coves thickly forested with pine trees, largely unmarred
by ugly tourist developments. A shady promenade winds around the coves,
the sea is crystal clear and there are convenient outdoor showers on
some beaches. Beaches and coves are on both sides of the town but the
longest stretch
is the 5km coast west of the town center. The settlement consists of
the older part (Gornja Brela) near the old road in the hill, and the newer part located on the coast (Donja Brela).
