Location:
The Dalmatian village of Petrcane is located just 12km north of the popular tourist destination of Zadar. It is a 900-year-old fishing village with a small local population of less than a thousand people. The bay is surrounded by two peninsulas, Punta Radman and Punta Skala. It is one of the region’s most picturesque and charming areas, with its tiny stone houses, scenic promenade, and idyllic village center.
Many beaches are just waiting to be explored, with Beach Petrcane being the most popular. Located directly on the promenade, this elongated bay is mainly pebble, with green pine trees providing pleasant shade on hot days and the wonderfully clear waters inviting you to take a dip. After a day of total relaxation, why not stop at the beach bar before visiting the pretty harbor and then pop for a bite to eat at one of the wide range of cafes and restaurants in the area?
Petrcane is ideally located for discovering some of the best attractions of the Zadar region, including the picturesque town of Nin, and the island of Vir, an island connected by a bridge to the mainland. The old town of Zadar itself is only a short distance from the village and is famous for its many attractions, including the Roman forum. Here you’ll experience a more metropolitan flavor, with restaurants, bars and cafes serving delicious local cuisine to suit everyone, as well as lots of opportunities to shop for souvenirs.
A visit to the ‘Monument to the Sun’ is an absolute must if you visit this part of Croatia. Created by artist Nikola Basic and located on the waterfront, the monument is a 22-metre disc representing the sun. It soaks up solar rays all day only to dazzle visitors with them in the form of colored patterns as night falls. There are also smaller discs representing the solar system’s planets, all of which radiate their shimmering glow. The adjacent art installation, ‘Sea Organ’, is another famous area attraction. These underwater pipes are formed by cleverly cutting steps into a section of the waterfront promenade; these underwater pipes produce musical notes when filled with water, creating a haunting harmonica effect.
