Biograd by the Sea is located 30km south of Zadar. On the northern side of Biograd lies the Bosan inlet and on the southern side lies the Soline inlet where there are large public sandy beaches surrounded by pine forests. Right in front of Biograd are the islands of Planac and St. Katherine.
What makes Biograd by the Sea an exceptional tourist destination are its beautiful natural surroundings which include the nearby National Park Kornati, the National Park Krka and the Natural park Lake Vrana which is known for its fishing culture and hunting of marsh birds.
Tourism in Biograd is growing.
It also has a rich history. Once a crown city of Croatian kings, Biograd is today a well-known tourist and nautical center in the center of the Adriatic coast. The city is of ideal size for living. It lies on a peninsula surrounded by modern marinas looking onto the sea strait of the Pasman canal and the islands scattered in it. A geographical position in the heart of the Adriatic surrounded by national parks and nature parks, a rich tourist tradition with cultural and sports amusements are some of the reasons for choosing Biograd as a destination for vacation.
