We walked along this coastline — to the stunning, secluded, Nugal Beach with its jaw-dropping aquamarine water, gentle waves and white cliffs plunging into the Adriatic — for about 5 kilometers today.

We saw exactly one other couple during our several hours out.

How is this possible?

My girlfriend, Qin M and I, have been luxuriating in long slow Croatian travel for about three weeks now.

We blew off the flight dust and jet lag while enjoying Dubrovnik for the first week of our trip.

Then we ferried to the nearly-deserted, tiny, car-free island of Lopud about an hour away from the touristic hubbub of Dubrovnik.

Now we’re at the tail end of a week in Makarska on the central Dalmatian Coast, otherwise known as the Makarska Riviera.
