Podaca is a coastal village and tourist locality in southern Dalmatia, Croatia, halfway between big urban centers of Split and Dubrovnik, or more closely cities of Makarska and Ploče, in the Gradac municipality, placed across from neigbouring peninsula Pelješac and the south end of Hvar (Pharos) island. Podaca as a part of the Makarska littoral is completely oriented towards tourism, with fairly limited olive agriculture. There was a population of about 660 inhabitants (according to data from 2009 census) of Podaca. As of 90s there has been a trend of older population from neighboring regions (mostly Bosnia & Herzegovina) retiring to live in the area, extending the use of their summer vacation houses. However many of the local youth are also leaving the area for education and especially for work abroad in much higher frequency since Croatia joined European Union.
