Bol is also the biggest tourist center of the island because of its world famous beach - Zlatni rat. There are also many sand beaches in the nearby coves (Martinica, Blaca, Konjska, etc.). The place was inhabited already in the antiquity (finds of coins, inscriptions, pottery, the Early Christian sarcophagi, the remains of the Roman water reservoir).
