Brela beaches and attractions in 2020, after pandemic

Brela, a small town in the north of the Makarska Riviera, has been a favourite destination of visitors from Western Europe. Hundreds of thousands of visitors in recent years have enjoyed Brela, its beaches, and charming Mediterranean atmosphere. On July 2, 2020, I decided to go to Brela and see how does the town look like after the coronavirus pandemic, whether the tourists have arrived, and if they had a good time.

Brela in 2020

As soon as I entered the town, I was positively surprised. Quite a number of people were in the town, staying in restaurants or beaches. It seems that the pandemic did not prevent Europeans from enjoying the beautiful Croatian beaches this year as well.

According to my estimates, the number of visitors is 30-40 per cent lower than in previous years in Brela. Therefore, the atmosphere in something more intimate, and the beaches are not crowded as they used to be in previous years, which makes the place even more appealing.

Reduced number of visitors is an advantage for maintaining the necessary social distance, in order to stay safe and healthy.

According to my observations, visitors in Brela have a great time in July 2020. And I believe all those who arrive in upcoming weeks will like it as well.

A slightly smaller number of visitors contributes to the charming atmosphere of this small coastal place. Visitors from Western European countries enjoy their vacation time in Brela, after months of quarantine and anxiety caused by the pandemic.
