Susak: Webcam - Island
Tucked into the Kvarner Gulf, Susak is a place whose character is shaped by deep deposits of wind-blown sand. This small Croatian island differs markedly from the limestone islands around it: sandy ground and narrow paths link the waterfront settlement with Gornje Selo on higher ground. The principal settlement, also called Susak, gathers around a sheltered harbour on the island’s northern side. Susak is known for its distinctive local costume, notably the layered and brightly coloured women’s skirts, and for a Chakavian speech tradition shaped by relative isolation. Reached by sea, the island remains closely connected to the wider network of Kvarner islands.

Susak sits on the island of Susak in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia, where deep sand deposits create an unusually low, soft-relief setting in the northern Adriatic. The settlement’s narrow lanes and sandy paths reflect an island landscape shaped as much by the sea as by its distinctive ground. Susak is particularly known for its traditional folk dress, preserved at local cultural events; women’s costumes feature vivid fabrics and layered short skirts unlike those found elsewhere in Croatia. Small vineyards and gardens have long adapted to the sandy soil. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Susak and the Kvarner Gulf.

The terrain of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County ranges from Adriatic islands and coastal bays in its southwest to forested highlands in Gorski Kotar to the northeast, giving the county a pronounced maritime-to-mountain character. Kvarner Bay links the port city of Rijeka with islands including Krk, Cres and Lošinj, while the Velebit Channel marks part of the coast farther south. Rijeka has long been Croatia’s principal seaport and was a European Capital of Culture in 2020. Inland, the wooded slopes and karst terrain of Gorski Kotar contrast sharply with the exposed shore and island settlements.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
