Pag Island - Island of Pag - Otok Pag - Insel Pag - Islands of Croatia

Of all the Dalmatia islands in the Adriatic Sea, Pag Island is probably the quietest. The population is about 8,000 and while it enjoys the same Mediterranean weather as the other islands, it tends to keep a lower profile. It’s the fifth largest island off the Croatia coast and is the one with the longest coastline. While its main source of income is still tourism, like the other islands it grows grapes, olives and other produce. It also herds sheep and sells the wool. The south and west coast of the Pag Island is low lying as apposed to the north and west coast which has high cliffs. The south-eastern side of Pag Island has a number of capes one of which has a small fishing village that tourists can go visit.

Oddly enough, there are no surface streams on the island, but there are some fresh water springs and several lakes. Pag Island is a rocky island compared to some of its neighboring islands, the island is connected by one long road running through the island like a spine.

For the yachtsman there are several major ports and yachting marinas that you can visit.
