Activity Description
The activity begins at Ručica Beach. The guide introduces the group to the planned route and provides each participant with a headlamp to ensure a safe hiking experience. The trail leads through a rocky karst landscape along Pag Bay toward Beriknica Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the island of Pag. This beach is particularly striking due to a natural installation of three uniquely shaped rocks formed over thousands of years by exposure to strong bora winds.
The tour continues to the fascinating Stogaj rock, an impressive climbing site located above Beriknica Beach. The trail then leads to Slana Cove, which features a nearby source of fresh drinking water. Surrounded by rocky cliffs, the cove offers an atmosphere of secluded charm.
Next, the hike proceeds to Seline Cove, where swimming is possible. Seline Cove is deeply nestled, providing a sense of intimacy and tranquility, enhanced by the nighttime ambiance and the sound of silence. From the beach, the view of Mount Velebit unfolds in all its grandeur, inspiring awe and admiration.
The tour concludes with a return along the same path back to the starting point at Ručica Beach, with optional swimming at one of the beaches along the way.
