Brijesta Tourist Information
The cove comprises several islets (Tajan, Koko-sar, Gubavac, Maslinovac, Lovorikovac, Pucenjak); the coast and the islands offer excellent opportunities for bathing and sports fishing.
BRIJESTA, a village and harbour in the cove bearing the same name on the north-eastern coast of the Peljesac Peninsula, 8 km southeast of Drace; population 130. Chief occupations are farming and fishing. Being quite protected to the north (Ostri Vrh, 199 m, Kamenice 286 m) winter temperatures are fairly high. A local road connects Brijesta with the regional road leading throughout the island. The cove is well protected from all winds.
A quadrangular tower, built for defence against the pirates, was erected in 1617. The cemetery features a small Baroque church of St. Liberan, with a bell tower on the main front ("na preslicu").
