DRVENIK, a village and ferry pier in the cove of the same name on the Makarska Riviera, 29 km southeast of Makarska; population 509. Economy is based on farming, viticulture, olive growing, fishing and tourism. The coast, with a number of coves, sand shores (so-called "pjeskulje", sandy soils) and flysh belts (so-called "duzi"), is protected from the north by the ridges of Rilic. Smaller- yachts may dock in the eastern part of the cove. Drvenik is located on the main road (M2, E65); it is also a ferry pier for Sucuraj on the island of Hvar and for the island of Korcula.

On a knoll north of the village are the ruins of a tower with fortification walls from the 17th century. The Gothic church of St. George, later reconstructed in the Baroque style, features built-in tombstones from the Middle Ages.
