Follow the unpaved road through pine forests and old villages. On the way you\u2019ll see a diverse Mediterranean vegetation, olive groves, vineyards and many species of animals, especially birds. Upon arriving near the final destination, you\u2019ll see a road intersection. Take the left road, and after a few meters turn right to descend to the Svitla Bay, which is known to have one of the most beautiful beaches on Ugljan. From here, you can get <\/span><strong>an amazing view of the Kornati islands<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Dugi otok and the island of Iz.
