The most beautiful and popular beach of the island Dugi Otok is Sakarun beach, located on the northwest side of the island, facing the open sea. It is best known for its white sand that is not very common in Croatia, where the beaches are usually completely pebbly. But to be exact, the beach itself has small smooth pebbles and sand on one side and bigger pebbles on the other, but the sea floor is completely sandy and it is white sand on the sea floor that lends the water that spectacular light turquoise blue. Sakarun beach is located in a bay, facing south and it is around 800 meters long. This beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Croatia, but also one of the best-kept secrets.
