Biograd Na Moru is located in the middle of the Croatian coast, surrounded by five national parks and two nature parks. Close to the Kornati Archipelago and Lake Vrana, it has a rich tourist tradition and offers a variety of activities and amenities. Historically, Biograd na Moru was the coronation city of Croatian kings. Today, it is a well-known tourist and nautical center and the focal point of the Biograd Riviera.
Situated on a peninsula, the town is flanked by modern marinas and a scenic promenade that offers beautiful views of the Pašman Canal and surrounding islands. The town's beautiful, clear sea is perfect for swimming, with pebble beaches shaded by pine trees located just a short walk from the city center. For those who prefer more secluded spots, the wooded islands in the Pašman Channel are ideal. Biograd retains traces of its Roman past, including the remains of two early Croatian churches. The 18th-century parish church of St. Anastasia is another highlight. The Homeland Museum showcases an array of archaeological artifacts from prehistoric, antique, and early Croatian times, as well as ship cargo from the 16th century.
In the summer, Biograd comes alive with numerous exhibitions, concerts of both popular and classical music, a cappella performances, folklore shows, and the vibrant Biograd Night celebration in August. The town is a popular holiday and sailing destination, thanks to its deeply indented coastline, perfect for exploration by sea. The large marina, one of Croatia’s best, features 805 berths. Located about 30 km south of Zadar and 50 km north of Šibenik, Biograd na Moru is easily accessible and serves as a great base for visiting several of Croatia’s national and nature parks.
