Brela, often referred as "the pearl of Makarska Riviera", lies 15km north of Makarska. And indeed, Brela has some of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful beaches in Croatia. Village developed along the coast, so visitors can walk by the beaches of Brela for almost 8 kilometers.

One naturist beach is located between the western end of Brela's seaside promenade, where Jakiruša restaurant is situated, and neighboring village of Pisak, in the Vrulja cove. Vrulja cove is hardly accessible any longer along the coastal track after a landslide (or builders spoil tipped) about 300m north of the Jakirusa restaurant. The steepness and fragility of the landslip made descent/traverse very hazardous, even for experienced walkers, and cuts off access to the first two beaches. Other way is by the path that goes trough the woods few hundred meters above the beach. To get there by car, on the main road towards Brela take right turn -downwards at the Sampion restaurant. Then drive in direction of Vrulja trough the village. Always take right turns. After about 5 min drive you'll find yourself on the dirtroad which is about 500 meters long. At the end there is a small parking area. After that you can take the path mentioned above. You can choose a spot for yourself on a 5km coastline visited mostly couples and singles. It is a wild and fascinating cove with the most incredible and dramatic nature and little gravel beaches. To reach some of the beautiful graveld beaches the best thing to do is to hire a boat in Brela.

On the other hand, going South along the path to Baska Voda and then on about 1km to the end of the main beaches you reach a last beach café and thereafter the beaches are mixed but largely naturist for about 300m (before the next resort beach). Access is easy along the cliff path to the café.

In the village itself, nude sunbathing is (sometimes) possible on quiet, from views protected cliffs between many gravel beaches along the already mentioned 8km long promenade. But this is not advisable if you don't see anybody else in the nude there (don't be the first one!).
