Sutivan (Stivan) is a peaceful seaside town on the northern coast of the island of Brač. It is 7 kilometers away from Supetar, the main ferryboat port. The town is marked by beautiful pebbled beaches and lovely promenades and parks.
The beaches of Sutivan have gained a reputation for their extraordinary beauty, beginning with those in the town (like Bunta beach). Taking a walk westward one can come across twenty unique bays and beaches where, even in the peak of the season, you can bask in tranquility and enjoy a swim in the crystal clean sea.
Sutivan offers a large number of catering establishments, bars, taverns and restaurants. The port is suitable for smaller yachts to moor, while larger yachts may need to find moorings outside the port. Numerous monuments and events along with sports facilities make Sutivan an attractive destination for sports and cultural tourism and also for an active vacation.
Foundations and fragments of the architectural decorations of an Old Christian church dating from the 6th century are preserved by the wall of the Church of Saint John (the 16th century). There is the citadel of the family Marjanović from 1772 with its specific sundial. There are also interesting houses of the Natali-Božičević family (the 16th century) and Definis (a collection of furniture and art works).
Guests can also enjoy an abundant sports-recreation program: free climbing, windsurfing, and fitness center; and for those who are more adventurous the area around cape Gomilica is apt for spear-fishing.
