    Only a few destinations have such a huge number of leisure activities as the beautiful Pakoštane. 

     Its geographical location is to blame. From the north, the town is protected by the Velebit mountain range, so summer here starts a little earlier and ends late, as in other places. 

   On the coast of Pakoštane, we can find all types of beaches, i.e. sandy, pebbly and rocky, classic or nudist. There are many attractions not only for children on the well-maintained beaches, either in the water or on land. Of course, beach chairs and umbrellas, jet skis, motor boats, water pedals, road bikes, roller skates and other outdoor sports facilities are available for rent here. Several Croatian national parks are located not far from Pakoštane and Villa novaELKA. Perhaps the most interesting are the KRKA National Park with its beautiful waterfalls, the KORNATY National Park, where you will definitely meet dolphins on a boat trip, the VRANSKO Jezero nature park, which is a protected ornithological reserve and where you can also meet fireflies arriving in the summer, and of course also a little inland PLITVIČKA JEZERA , known to many from the filming of the legendary film Winnetou. 

     DALMALAND amusement park is located not far between Pakoštane and the City of Biograd na moru, with many attractions similar to those in the Viennese Pratery. 

    In any case, you must not miss the famous sunset in the pearl of the Adriatic in the city of ZADAR, full of beautiful historical monuments, such as the church of St. Donát, with the water organ, which is only the second of its kind in the world, and the Salutation to the Sun monument.
