Baska Voda is known as a modern tourist center and port, located in the northwestern part of the Makarska Riviera below the mighty mountain ridge Biokovo. It belongs to the Split-Dalmatia County.
It lies about 10 kilometers from the famous Makarska. The former fishing village offers long pebble beaches, crystal clear sea, good restaurants, pleasant accommodation and many cultural and historical monuments. There is a small port with a long breakwater, which protects two smaller piers and Marina Baska Voda. At the end of the breakwater is a lighthouse. The area of Baska was inhabited in Roman times, as indicated by archaeological finds. The main economic activity that predominates in the place is tourism. Hotel Slavia was the first hotel in Baska to be built in the early 1930s. Tourism development flourished after Second World War. The clean sea, long sandy beaches, wooded surroundings, hotel and culinary offer contributed to this. Today, the population is rarely engaged in fishing and agriculture, which were previously the main activity. The present settlement developed in the early 18th century. There are two baroque churches in this area, the parish church of Saint Nicholas and the church of Saint Lawrence with a bell tower on a horsehair. The parish church was built in the 20th century, probably in the area of an older church, next to which are some medieval tombstones. Visitors can see the Archaeological Museum Collection and the Malacological Museum, which is the largest collection of shells in the area with exhibits from the waters of Baska Voda and the Adriatic.
Baska Voda is an ideal starting point for various excursions. Remains of an old settlement and late antique Byzantine fortresses and Roman tombs were found in the town of Promajna on the Gradina hill, which is located east of Baska.
