The island of Pag is the longest and fifth largest Adriatic island. It is 60 kilometers long, separates Dalmatia from Primorje, and about eight thousand inhabitants live on it. The island coast is very divided with many coves, sandy beaches and harbors.
The island of Pag is accessible by ferry on the very short line Prizna - Zigljan or via the picturesque Pag bridge. The ferry ride only takes a few minutes. During the summer, the ferries run non-stop, and outside the summer months, according to a fixed schedule. The Pag Bridge is located on the southeastern part of the island of Pag. With the construction of the bridge over the Ljubaski vrati, the island of Pag actually became a peninsula. The bridge connects the island to the mainland or the Zagreb-Split highway, so access by bus or car is possible. The Pag bridge offers the easiest access to the island, without queuing for the ferry. In winter, the Pag bridge is often closed due to storms. The bridge is a concrete arch that is 301 meters long and nine meters wide. The span of the bow is 193 meters. The Pag Bridge was opened to traffic on November 17, 1968. The Pag bridge was completely renovated shortly after 1995.
Near the bridge there is a small bar with a parking lot, from where there are wonderful views of the bridge. The island of Pag is an important alternative traffic route from the continental area of Croatia to Dalmatia and vice versa.
