The central and southern Croatian coastline, including the Adriatic coastline in the northern part of the sea, has the historical name of Dalmatia. It is an elongated coastline, about 400 km long and up to 70 km wide in the central part. In the more spacious north-western part, it is bordered by mountain chains in the north, making the hinterland of the narrow coastal belt.
