Povljana

Few towns in Zadar County have a history as closely tied to saltmaking as Povljana. Set on the southern side of Pag Island, the settlement faces the Adriatic while the island’s low, pale limestone terrain extends inland. Its former salt pans recall an occupation that shaped communities across Pag for centuries; salt remains one of the island’s defining traditional products. Nearby, the wetland lake Veliko blato contrasts with the dry coastal setting and is protected as an ornithological reserve. Povljana is also known for its long beach and easy-going resort atmosphere, with Pag’s distinctive island character always close at hand.
