    The town has a long and proud maritime history and it is one of the most popular nautical spots in Northern Dalmatia offering excellent facilities of well-equipped marinas along with the cosiness and intimacy of little private bays and numerous opportunities to explore the stunning natural environment. No wonder it attracts many yachtsmen and boating enthusiasts who come for one of the 50 annual regattas. Sail away!

    Heart-shaped island

    The Island of Galešnjak is known for its heart shape, but there are more reasons to fall in love with it. As most things related to love, discovering this island was also an accident. This tiny island of only 0.132 square kilometres of land was accidentally discovered during a Google Earth search. It instantly became a topic on TV channels such as CNN and BBC. The whole world found out about Galešnjak, the island with the most perfect heart shape in the world. You can plan your romantic trip also but note that it does not have any kind of man-made structures or accommodation facilities. In our opinion, that makes it even more romantic, don't you think? Enjoy romantic moments under the stars or swim along the clear pebble beaches surrounding the tiny island with your loved one.
