Located at the southeastern tip of Dugi Otok (Long Island) in the Adriatic Sea, Telašćica Nature Park is one of the most awe-inspiring coastal parks in Croatia. Known for its towering cliffs, saltwater lake, lush pine forests, and proximity to the Kornati Islands, this protected area is a sanctuary for both nature lovers and adventurers alike.
Recognized for its dramatic contrasts—tranquil bays on one side and staggering cliffs on the other—Telaščića offers a sense of wild, untouched beauty that few places in the Adriatic can match.

What Makes Telašćica Nature Park So Special?
Salt Lake Mir (Jezero Mir)
One of the park’s most iconic features is Lake Mir, a salty lake located in a karst depression. It’s warmer than the sea, rich in minerals, and believed to have healing properties.
️ Stene – The Cliffs
Soaring up to 161 meters above sea level, the Stene cliffs plunge dramatically into the Adriatic. The views from the top are absolutely unforgettable.
Rich Marine Life & Dolphin Sightings
The area is a haven for marine biodiversity, and lucky visitors might even spot dolphins playing in the surrounding waters.
Sailing Paradise
Due to its location near the Kornati archipelago, Telaščića is a favorite stop for sailing routes. The sheltered bays provide a safe and scenic anchorage for yachts.
How to Reach Telašćica Nature Park
The park is accessible by boat from Zadar, Biograd na Moru, or Murter. Guided boat excursions are popular and often include swimming stops and views of the Kornati islands.
Many travelers choose to combine this sea adventure with a luxurious inland stay—particularly on Pag Island, which offers peace, comfort, and exquisite views.
