Among the most exciting experiences to be had on the island of Brač is undoubtedly the sighting of dolphins in their natural habitat. Sumartin is one of the places where these magnificent animals are most frequently spotted, particularly in front of Vila Vera and its beach, where dolphins have also been observed directly from apartment terraces.
The best time for dolphin sightings is from May to September, when the sea is calmer and more transparent. However, dolphins can appear at any time of the day, in the morning, in the afternoon or at sunset.
