The municipality of Supetar also comprises the surrounding settlements; Splitska, Mirca and Škrip and has just over 4000 inhabitants (Census 2011). Supetar is connected with Split with a ferry line, but as Brač also has an airport, it is accessible from all over the world. In the past, its economy was based on agriculture, fisheries and navigation, but as many similar Dalmatian towns, in recent decades it became a predominantly tourist town. As a popular tourist destination, Supetar boasts many restaurants, pizzerias, taverns, café bars, night bars etc. It also has plenty of beaches surrounded by Aleppo pine trees. In Supetar you can find accommodation in numerous apartments, hotels, villas, private houses, camps etc. You can also take trips to other places on Brač (Bol, the Golden Horn beach, Milna), other towns and cities in the region (Split, Trogir, Makarska, Omiš), or other neighboring islands (Šolta, Hvar, Čiovo, Vis). Another popular destination for trips is Vidova Gora - the highest peak on all Croatian islands, located on the island of Brač (778 m above sea level). Vidova Gora is popular due to the stunning views of Bol, the Golden Horn beach, the island of Hvar and the surrounding sea that stretch from it.
