Biograd
na Moru.

Boat RentalsHiking

Biograd na Moru sits on the Adriatic coast in the Zadar region, built around a large marina and a compact old town. In the Middle Ages it was a seat of Croatian kings, and traces of that period still mark parts of the old core. The harbour now holds rows of yachts and sailboats, and the waterfront promenade is lined with cafés and seafood restaurants.

Soline and Dražica beaches lie close to the centre, shaded by pine trees and backed by calm, shallow water. Across the channel lie the islands of Pašman and Ugljan, and the Kornati archipelago spreads further out to sea — a scatter of bare limestone islands protected as a national park.

Inland, Vrana Lake draws birdwatchers to its reed beds and shoreline trails, while Telašćica Nature Park on Dugi Otok combines cliffs and a saltwater lake inside a belt of pine forest. The town stays lively through summer with local festivals, settling into a quieter rhythm once the season ends.
