It is a tourist centre, located on a horseshoe shaped bay between the Biokovo mountains and the Adriatic Sea. The city is noted for its palm-fringed promenade,

large capacity hotels as well as a camping ground.
The center of Makarska is an old town with narrow stone-paved streets, a
main church square where there is a flower and fruit market, and a Franciscan monastery that houses a sea shell collection featuring a giant clam shell.
Makarska is the center of the Makarska Riviera,
a popular tourist destination under the Biokovo mountain. It stretches
for 60 km (37 mi) between the towns of Brela and Gradac.
