About Pag/Pag
Pag is the larger of the island's two towns, with about 2,300 people in the town itself. It was built from 1443 to a Venetian plan, with Juraj Dalmatinac helping to draw up the plan; medieval Pag stood near the salt works about 3 km to the south. The collegiate church, a three-nave basilica with a Gothic portal, anchors the centre. The town grew up by shallow coves in a closed bay used for making salt, and Pag lace has been on UNESCO's intangible heritage list since 2009. A large public beach near the centre suits families. The homes are spread around the town and the bay, and anyone after livelier fun heads to Zrće.

Is there a beach in Pag town?
There is. A large, well-kept public beach near the centre of Pag town suits families. Beyond it, the low south-western coast of the island has Pag Bay and the large Caska cove.
What is Pag town known for?
Salt and lace. Salt has been made on the island for more than a thousand years and it produces around two-thirds of Croatia's salt, while Pag lace has been on UNESCO's intangible heritage list since 2009.
Do you need a ferry to reach Pag town?
Not necessarily. The Pag Bridge, a 300-metre arch, joins the southern part of the island to the mainland, so you can drive on. The Prizna to Žigljen ferry serves the north of the island instead.
Is Pag town good for families?
For small families, yes, since the town beach suits children. Homes here are small, mostly for two to four, with none sleeping more than six, so larger groups have little choice.
