01 / The practical guide
Where is it?
On northwestern Dugi Otok, near Veli Rat, Verunić, Soline and Božava. It is an island outing, not a beach beside Zadar city.

How do you get there?
Plan the crossing to Dugi Otok and your onward transport to the north of the island together. Check the current ferry or passenger-boat route before choosing a departure port.
03 / The practical guide
Where can you park?
Allow for a walk from permitted parking to the bay. Current parking location, charges and any seasonal transport arrangements need a local check; do not rely on an old blog’s price.
04 / The practical guide
Is there natural shade?
Pine trees surround the bay and offer shade behind the beach. The open shoreline and the shallows remain sunny.
05 / The practical guide
What is the beach and seabed like?
Pale sand and an extensive shallow bathing area are the main appeal. Shore material can include pebbles and naturally deposited seagrass; expect a living coastline rather than a groomed pool edge.
06 / The practical guide
Is it accessible?
Shallow water is not the same as wheelchair access. A continuous firm route, beach wheelchair and accessible toilet have not been verified; ask the tourist board about your exact needs.
07 / The practical guide
What facilities are available?
The tourist board describes refreshments and light snacks at the beach. Confirm seasonal opening, toilets and drinking-water availability; carry water rather than relying on a kiosk being open.
08 / The practical guide
When is the best time to go?
Our suggestion: stay on Dugi Otok and visit early instead of fitting everything into a tight mainland day trip. Choose a calm day and check the return crossing.

Where should you stay nearby?
Božava, Soline, Verunić and Veli Rat are useful northern-island bases. Prioritise the transport plan and distance by road when comparing accommodation.
Destination link, not a live availability or booking service.
What else is nearby?
Explore Veli Rat and the surrounding villages. Telašćica lies elsewhere on the island; allow a separate travel block rather than treating it as next door.
