Read moreSince 10 years, we are on holiday in Bol, Brac with our three dogs. Medium-small size. (12/15 kg). Zlatni Rat has extended the ban on dogs on the beach also to areas outside Zlatni Rat. Also at the FKK beaches to the west of Zlatni Rat with signs prohibiting access to dogs and naked flames for 300 meters. Info-point of Zlatni Rat the manager says that ALL the beaches and the rocks beyond the prohibition sign are PROHIBITED to the dogs.
