Sakarun Beach, located on the northern part of Dugi Otok island near the village of Verunic, is often hailed as the Caribbean of the Adriatic due to its stunning white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Stretching approximately 800 meters long with around 350 meters of shallow to medium-depth water, it offers a safe and enjoyable environment for swimmers of all ages, especially families with young children. The beach is nestled in a protected cove, shielded from strong wind and waves, creating a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere that contrasts with busier coastal areas.
Surrounded by lush pine forests that provide natural shade, Sakarun Beach stands out for its unique blend of natural beauty and calm setting. The extensive white sand shoreline is complemented by clear blue waters and a gentle seabed slope, making access smooth and inviting. Its natural charm attracts both nature lovers seeking peace and visitors looking for picturesque beach experiences in the Zadar archipelago.
Despite its popularity, the beach maintains a balance of peacefulness and amenities, offering visitors a combination of natural allure with convenient facilities. Sakarun’s remote yet accessible location about 1.5 hours by ferry from the mainland ensures it remains a hidden gem beloved by Croatian and international travellers alike.
