Makarska je oduvijek bila središte šire regije poznate kao Makarska Rivijera, kako u administrativnom, političkom i ekonomskom smislu, kao središte kulture, obrazovanja, a od sredine dvadesetog stoljeća i turizma. Danas je to grad s više od 15 tisuća stanovnika kojemu pripadaju i slikovita naselja podno Biokova, Veliko Brdo, Puharići, Kotišina i Makar (od kojega je i dobila naziv - Makarska). Makarska je jedno od najpoznatijih turističkih odredišta hrvatskog priobalja, privlačno zbog svojih prirodnih i klimatskih karakteristika, raznolike turističke ponude i gostoljubivih domaćina. Danas, Makarska je poznata po pješčanoj plaži, koja je duga gotovo 2 kilometara. Uz šetnice obrubljene borovima i okružene luksuznim hotelima, turističkim objektima i gastronomskim specijalitetima, te obilje zabave za djecu i odrasle. Makarska se nalazi ispod planine Biokovo (1762 m), koja je štiti od prodora kontinentalne klime, zaslužna za njegovu bogatu mediteransku vegetaciju, blagim zimama, dugim i toplim ljetima s osvježavajućim maestralom. Makarska ima više od 2750 sunčanih sati godišnje s temperaturom zraka višom od 20 ° C od lipnja do rujna. Tijekom tih istih mjeseci, kristalno čisto more i ima temperaturu iznad 20 ° C. Grad Makarska razvio se oko prirodne luke koju štite slikoviti poluotok Sveti Petar (St. Peter) i rt Osejava. To je jedina takva luka između ušća Cetine i Neretve. U prošlosti je to uvjet za zaštitu i sigurnu luku tijekom nevremena mornarima, gusarima i trgovcima, a danas to čini isto za jahte, jedrilice i turističke brodove. To je pridonijelo da je postala važna trgovačka luka, osobito za vrijeme turske i mletačke okupacije. Danas, postoji trajektna linija koja traje nekoliko puta dnevno za Sumartin na otoku Braču. Tijekom ljetnih mjeseci luka se ispunjava jahtama i turističkim brodovima, dok su mladi pune glavni trg uživajući u zabavnim i kulturnim priredbama. Kako noć prolazi, Makarska postaje življa i življa, a njezini kafići, restorani i diskoteke puniji.
