Tučepi holds one of the longest beaches on the Makarska Riviera, backed by Biokovo Nature Park and a well-established run of resort hotels.
Tučepi is a longer leg — 82 kilometres and around 75 minutes — taking in the full run of the Makarska Riviera coast road south of Split, past Omiš, Pisak, Marušići and Promajna before the road opens onto Tučepi's long beach frontage. It's a proper journey rather than a quick hop, and one of the more rewarding drives on this list simply for the amount of coastline it covers along the way. By the time the road drops into Tučepi, the Biokovo massif has grown considerably closer and steeper than it appeared further north, and the shift in scale is one of the more memorable parts of the whole drive. Few single journeys on this coast pack in as much visual variety — river mouth, cliffside road, open beach resort — all inside a single, comfortably paced airport transfer, making it as much a scenic introduction to the riviera as a simple point-to-point drive.
Tučepi holds one of the longest continuous beaches on the entire Makarska Riviera, and the resort has grown up to match it — a well-established run of hotels, from large full-service properties to smaller family-run guesthouses, backed directly by the steep wall of Biokovo Nature Park. That backdrop is part of what sets Tučepi apart: the mountain rises almost straight up from the coast road, and hiking trails into Biokovo start within a short drive of the beach, giving visitors a genuine choice between sea and summit on the same day. The town itself has grown considerably over recent decades without losing its Dalmatian core — an older stone centre a little inland from the main hotel strip, worth the short walk up from the beach. A cable car project connecting the seafront to a viewpoint high on Biokovo has long been discussed for this part of the riviera, a sign of how seriously the mountain is treated as part of Tučepi's appeal rather than simply scenery in the background. Tučepi was one of the earlier resorts on this coast to invest in large-scale hotel infrastructure, and several of its landmark properties date back to major redevelopment in the 1990s and 2000s, giving it a more polished, resort-town feel than the smaller villages further along the same road. That investment has continued steadily since, with newer wellness and spa facilities added to several of the larger hotels in recent years, reflecting a shift toward longer, more comfort-focused stays rather than the simpler beach holidays the resort was originally built around.
Your flight number is tracked from booking, so the driver's pickup time shifts automatically to match your actual landing rather than the printed schedule. It's a direct, private drive the length of the riviera, with a stop possible if arranged in advance — the Omiš gorge and zipline sit roughly midway and make a reasonable break on a journey this length. Given the length of the drive, it's worth confirming your exact hotel or apartment complex when booking, since several larger properties in Tučepi share similar names and sit at different points along a beachfront that runs for some distance. On journeys of this length, it's also worth mentioning any specific timing needs — an early check-in, a dinner reservation — so the driver can plan the route and any stop accordingly rather than working to guesswork, and can adjust the pace of the drive itself if you'd simply prefer to arrive a little earlier.

Promajna and Marušići sit just north along the same coast road, both easy to visit or transfer to separately during a longer stay. Živogošće, quieter again, is a short further drive south for visitors wanting to see more of the riviera's southern end. Biokovo Nature Park's lower trailheads are a short drive inland from Tučepi itself, offering a genuine mountain hiking day out without needing to travel far from the beach. Makarska, with its wider choice of restaurants, shops and the passenger ferry to Sumartin, is a short drive north and makes an easy evening trip for visitors based in Tučepi. Hikers based in Tučepi for a longer stay often combine an early-morning Biokovo trail with an afternoon back on the beach, taking advantage of the cooler mountain air before the day's heat sets in at sea level — a rhythm that regular visitors to this stretch of coast tend to settle into quickly.
€145 one-way in the Sedan (1–4 passengers) or €205 in the Business Van or Van (1–7–8 passengers), fixed for the full 82 km drive.
