The island of Pag is the fifth largest Adriatic island, which is 60 kilometers long and separates Dalmatia from the Primorje. It was created during former tectonic movements, when part of the current Velebit mountain moved away, and the crack was flooded by the sea.
The island of Pag is located in a good geographical and transport position, which enables fairly quick access to the island. In the southern part, the island is accessed via the Pag bridge, while from the northern side it is accessible via the Prizna - Zigljen ferry line. The ferry ride is very short, taking only 15 minutes. During the summer, the ferries run non-stop, but outside the main tourist season, according to a fixed schedule, which can be seen on their website. The price for transportation varies depending on the number of people, the length of the car, additional trailer and more. During the ride, guests can enjoy beautiful views of the sea and the island of Pag. There is usually also a bar on the ferry offering drinks and snacks. Even easier access to the island of Pag is provided by the picturesque Pag bridge, which is located near the Zagreb - Split highway. 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 island of Pag has a very indented coastline with many bays, sandy beaches and harbors.
The seabed is mostly sandy, only in some places it is rocky. The island has been inhabited since ancient times. The highest peak is Sveti Vid with 347 meters. The most popular beach is Zrce beach, near Novalja.
