Otok Brač je karakterističan po kraškom reljefu, uvalama i dolinama, ali većina primorskih naselja i viši dijelovi otoka Brača su prekriveni šumama alepskog bora. Ljudi žive na Braču u raznim malim gradovima, u rasponu od 3500 stanovnika (glavni grad Supetar) do samo desetak (Novo Selo). Otok Brač napreduje uglavnom zbog turizma, poljoprivrede i ribolova. Brač je poznat po sirevima, maslinovom ulju i vinu, kao i svojem jedinstvenom bijelom kamenu, koji je korišten u izgradnji Bijele kuće u SAD-u i Dioklecijanove palače u Splitu. Otok Brač danas je spoj svojih romaničkih, renesansnih i baroknih crkava i drugih arhitektonskih objekata, te turističkih objekata, uključujući hotele, luksuzne vile, kuće za odmor, apartmane i kampove.
