Located on the northwestern coast of Dugi otok, Sakarun is one of the most photographed beaches in Croatia. Known for its shallow turquoise water and bright sandy seabed, Sakarun creates a unique lagoon effect rarely found along the Adriatic coast.

Just a scenic cruise from Zadar, Sakarun is a perfect destination for guests who want to swim in calm, warm water and enjoy a relaxed beach atmosphere surrounded by pine trees and untouched nature.

Unlike rocky beaches typical for Croatia, Sakarun’s sandy bottom gives the water its distinctive light blue color. On a private boat tour, you can arrive before peak hours, avoid crowds and enjoy the lagoon at the best time of day.

Whether you prefer swimming, floating in crystal-clear water or simply relaxing on board with panoramic views, Sakarun offers one of the most enjoyable sea experiences near Zadar.
