The island of Ugljan is directly across from Zadar and easily accessible by boat. There is a small beach however it is very rocky probably not the best for sunbathing. However you can swim along the crystal clear water at the local swimming spots if you want to get wet.
Zadar’s famed Sea Organ was installed in 2005 and is now one of the top art installations. It is basically a giant musical instrument played by the action of the waves. Right next store is the Greeting to the Sun which is a Modern monument to the sun, consisting of solar panels that create a colorful light show at night.
Zadar is one of the most unique places to visit along Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, where in-the-know travellers come to feast on seafood, watch dreamy sunsets, and sip cocktails at oceanside bars. Also enjoy its Roman ruins, art installations, and beaches. Zadar Croatia is not the most popular places so a great place to visit without the crowds.
If you get a chance head over to the Krka National park and see the falls.
