The outer parts of Pag Island have also many beautiful beaches, most of them pebbled. Here\u2019s the list of some of the most popular beaches on the island:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Zr\u0107e Beach, Novalja <\/strong>&#8211; Undoubtedly the most popular beach not only on Pag but in Croatia as well. Zr\u0107e Beach is mostly oriented towards partying so if you plan to go here with your family, we would not recommend it. Nonetheless, the beach is well equipped and clean. The beach has pebbles and you can rent sunbeds and parasols. Some of the best festivals held on Zr\u0107e Beach are Spring Break, Hideout and Fresh Island.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Prosika Beach<\/strong> &#8211; The main beach of the town of Pag and it\u2019s the nearest to the Old Town. The beach combines small pebbles and sand and it is suitable for families with children because it also has a lot of extra facilities such as slides for children, pedal boats and a playground. For adults, there\u2019s a possibility of renting a jet ski and in the vicinity of the beach, you\u2019ll find a beach volley court.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>\u010cista beach, Kolan<\/strong> &#8211; This beach is located 5 kilometers from Novalja, near Kolan village. If you plan to go by car, you will find a parking lot by the beach, however, you will need to pay for it. By foot it\u2019s a bit more complicated since you need to climb uphill to reach it. The beach is pebbled and it\u2019s one of \u201cthe remote\u201d beaches although in the season peak it can get crowded as town beaches as well. You\u2019ll find a nearby restaurant for a lunch or coffee break and you can also rent pedal boats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Ru\u010dica Beach, Metajna <\/strong>&#8211; Ru\u010dica beach in Metajna is unlike any other beach on Pag. It\u2019s completely surrounded by untouched nature and there are no nearby facilities except a small bar and fast food. There is no vegetation on this beach which means that you need to bring a parasol and sunscreen to get protected from the sun. The beach is not too popular among tourists so you can enjoy the silence and peace on your vacation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2943\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/beach-at-Metajna-Pag-island-Croatia.jpg\" alt=\"Ru\u010dica Beach\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/beach-at-Metajna-Pag-island-Croatia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/beach-at-Metajna-Pag-island-Croatia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/beach-at-Metajna-Pag-island-Croatia-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Ru\u010dica Beach<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Vrti\u0107 Beach, Novalja <\/strong>&#8211; Located in the very heart of Novalja, this beach is ideal for those staying in Novalja because you can reach it by foot in no time. It\u2019s mostly visited by younger people who come here to hang out and chill at the beach bar. You have the possibility of renting a parasol and a beach volley court at your disposal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Sveti Duh Beach, Mandre<\/strong> &#8211; 10 kilometers south of Novalja, along the main road on Pag, you\u2019ll find Sveti Duh beach. This beach is also a part of the homonymous camp. You can reach the beach by car and park it in the parking lot near the beach (needs to be paid for). Sveti Duh is ideal for families with small children because of the shallow sea. Make sure to bring a parasol and sun protection because there is no natural shade on the beach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Trin\u010del Beach<\/strong> &#8211; This sand beach is located in Stara Novalja and it got awarded with a blue flag which symbolizes the high quality of service and sea cleanliness. The beach is very well equipped with facilities like public toilets, changerooms, beach bar, restaurant and fast food. You can rent sunbeds and parasols, play volleyball, or use sea slide.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2944\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Pag-beach.jpg\" alt=\"Pag view\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Pag-beach.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Pag-beach-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Pag-beach-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camping_on_Pag\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #4a79e2;\"> Camping on Pag<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Camping on Pag Island is very common and it is getting more popular each year because the prices of private apartments are too high for the visitors.

Glamping is a luxurious form of camping which means that you have all the amenities and facilities found in the regular type of accommodation but combined under a huge tent. They offer glamping tents for 2,4 and 6 people and prices vary during the season so if you want to experience luxurious nights under the stars, then you should book a tent in pre or postseason when the prices are significantly lower.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Autocamp Dra\u017eica<\/strong> &#8211; Campsite Dra\u017eica is located on the north-western side of Pag Island and it is named after the homonymous bay. Although not as classy as the previous two campsites, this camp gives you the possibility to connect more with nature. Dra\u017eica offers to its guest&#8217;s bathrooms with showers and sinks, toilettes, electrical outlets at the camper pitches, a boat ramp and a possibility to moor your boat in the sea. Within the camp Dra\u017eica, it is possible to rent a scooter, paddle boats and kayaks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Family camp AS Mandre<\/strong> &#8211; Owned by a local family, this camp is significantly smaller than the other ones and perfect for a larger family with children. With only 4 parcels for tents and 1 mobile home, family camp AS Mandre will give you a more intimate atmosphere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Other popular campsites on Pag Island are <strong>Camp Mali Dubrovnik, Camp Porat<\/strong> and <strong>Camp Sveti Duh<\/strong>, which also offer tent pitches, mobile homes and bathroom facilities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cycling_hiking_on_Pag\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #4a79e2;\"> Cycling &amp; hiking on Pag<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pag is a perfect island for all who like <strong>active holidays<\/strong>.

As soon as you pass Pag Bridge you will see a rocky, almost desert-like landscape. It might look unusual for an island in the Adriatic Sea but it\u2019s like that to the strong \u201cbura\u201d wind which blows from the mountains on the mainland. You can <strong>hike up to St. Vid peak<\/strong> situated at 348 meters above sea level. St. Vid is the highest peak of the island of Pag and is situated directly above Pag Bay. The views from St. Vid are amazing because you get to see the majority of the island&#8217;s places (Pag, Kolan, \u0160imuni, Ko\u0161ljun,&#8230;), as well as neighboring islands (Rab, Mali Lo\u0161inj, Silba, Olib, Maun, &#8230;). Numerous Velebit peaks on the mainland are also visible from St. Vid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The <strong>nearest starting point<\/strong> is from the asphalt road between \u0160imuni and Kolan, in the Draga area (**blue hikers icon in the map below). From there you need to follow macadam road with your car for another 750m. Have in mind that if you choose to drive on the macadam road, the road is very narrow and there\u2019s a place on the road just for one vehicle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>GOOD TO KNOW:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make sure to wear proper footwear because the terrain is very rocky and rugged.<\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s a possibility of bumping into sand viper (a common snake species found on the Balkans), especially on the eastern side of the peak, so be careful.<\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are no facilities on the way to the peak, so you need to bring plenty of water and in case of sudden rain, the only shelter found are the ruins of an old church.<\/li>\r\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sunscreen is also very important, otherwise, you might get sunstroke.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1ETu-_CDp571d3r5vhOJKsLCGfa0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Snorkeling_diving_on_Pag\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #4a79e2;\"> Snorkeling &amp; diving on Pag<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Pag Island has a rich underwater life which encourages more people every year to explore the amazing Adriatic Sea.

During summer, Zr\u0107e Beach in Novalja becomes the main venue of all happenings. Hosted by Aquarius, Noa, Kalypso and Papaya, the summer festivals on Pag gather some of the most notable DJs. The season usually opens with the classic <strong>Zrce Spring Break Europe<\/strong>. In 2019 it will celebrate its 10th anniversary so you definitely shouldn\u2019t miss this festival.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Five open-air venues host the weeklong party for <strong>Hideout Festival<\/strong>. The festival offers chill cocktail parties during the daytime, wild parties in the night rolling through to the early hours of the morning. All of this, plus their famous boat parties, pool parties and beach parties will surely win you over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Besides electronic music, Zrce hosts excellent hip-hop &amp; R&#8217;n&#8217;B parties which can be experienced at <strong>Fresh Island Festival<\/strong>. Some of the artists who have performed at Fresh Island are Wiz Khalifa, Migos, A$AP Rocky, Rae Sremmurd and Snoop Dogg. The festival is held every year since 2012 and it offers to the visitors 2 open-air super clubs, 5 boat parties, 2 stages + 2 pools and special beach activities. Sound exciting, right?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Area 4 Festival<\/strong> is yet another electronic festival but symbolically offers 4 open-air clubs for 4 days all day and night long. It\u2019s a relatively \u201cyoung\u201d festival since it debuted in 2017 so it is among the \u201ccheaper\u201d festivals on Pag.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If these four festivals are not enough for you, make sure to check out Black Sheep Festival, Barrakud Festival and <strong>Sonus Festival<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2949\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/011_ZSBE_2018.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/011_ZSBE_2018.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/011_ZSBE_2018-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/011_ZSBE_2018-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ferrycroatia.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/011_ZSBE_2018-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption>Zrce Spring Break<br \/>Marc Hiedl | Dropit.fm<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pag_nightlife\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #4a79e2;\">Pag nightlife<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to wild parties and exciting nightlife, there\u2019s no doubt &#8211; Pag is the best island in Croatia if you are looking for 24\/7 top-quality partying! After all, it got the envious title of \u201cCroatian Ibiza\u201d because it attracts so many young tourists every summer. In fact, Zr\u0107e Beach itself has five open-air clubs where you will find the center of all nightlife in Pag. <strong>Aquarius, Noa, Kalypso, Papaya<\/strong> and <strong>Euphoria<\/strong> are open only during the summer season but there are parties literally every day. During the day they are beach bars where you can have cocktail parties under the sun and in the evening the light show begins, followed by foam and electronic music until the morning. <strong>Kalypso Club<\/strong>, for example, has a massive open-air dance floor and a pool area where you can chill during the day and relax. Also, it is one of the oldest nightclubs in Croatia since it was opened in 1987, back then being the first beach bar in Croatia! Also, Pag can be proud of the fact that three of its clubs are listed on <a href=\"https:\/\/djmag.com\/top100clubs?field_year_value=2018\">DJ Mag\u2019s Top 100 Clubs<\/a> list for 2018 (some of them several years in a row!).

Don\u2019t miss to try their praised mojito! <strong>Big Yellow House Bar<\/strong> in Novalja is a favorite gathering point for all backpackers who come to Novalja. Since it is a part of the homonymous hostel, you can mostly expect their guests to be there.
