West Coast
0
Stretching gently along the Adriatic Sea, the West Coast of Split, known as Zapadna obala, is where the city slows its pace and turns toward the horizon. Just steps away from the ancient walls of Diocletian’s Palace, this modern promenade offers a quieter, more reflective side of Split. Beneath your feet lies smooth white Brač stone, glowing softly in the Mediterranean sun. To your right, the sea opens wide — calm, blue, and timeless — dotted with elegant yachts resting in the marina. To your left, the city rises, blending centuries of history with contemporary life. As you walk, you may notice bronze plaques embedded in the stone. These honor Olympic medalists from Split, reminding visitors that this city is not only shaped by emperors and sailors, but also by athletes whose achievements reached the world stage. The West Coast is especially magical at sunset, when the sky turns gold and crimson, and the sea reflects the fading light. Locals pause here, couples stroll slowly, and the sounds of the city soften into the rhythm of waves. More than a promenade, the West Coast is a place to breathe, to reflect, and to feel the deep connection between Split, the sea, and the lives shaped along this shore.
