Matlovac is Ždrelac’s sandy beach, while Soline is centrally located in a natural bay. Other highlights include the Church of St. Luke, the Panorama cycling route and the Ždrelac Bridge, with its paths and views. Ždrelac therefore offers different starting points for your trip: a beach visit, a cultural stop, a cycling route or views of several islands.

Choosing a beach: Matlovac and Soline

Matlovac Beach has showers and changing cabins. There is also a volleyball court nearby. If you want to consider practical facilities and a sporting option in the area when visiting the beach, you’ll find both here as specific features of the location. Matlovac is a sandy beach, which already provides a clear point of reference when choosing.

Soline offers a different setting: the beach is in the center of Ždrelac, in a natural bay. It suits visitors who prefer a quieter, less crowded beach. This makes it possible to distinguish between two different beach preferences: Matlovac, with its facilities and nearby volleyball court, and Soline, with its central location and bay setting. Which of these features matters more to you may shape your choice of beach.

The church and the Panorama cycling route

The parish church of St. Luke in Ždrelac dates back to the 13th century. The church contains valuable paintings with religious themes. A visit therefore combines a specific historical connection with artworks whose subject matter is also identified. For a trip that makes room for culture as well as the beach and sea, the church is a destination in its own right.

The Panorama cycling route starts in the center of Ždrelac, near the Church of St. Luke the Evangelist, and also ends in Ždrelac. It is 12.6 kilometers long. The starting point near the church connects both interests to the village center: the church is a cultural attraction, while the route offers a cycling option with a clearly stated length. This figure describes the route’s distance; it does not imply a particular riding time.

Across the Ždrelac Bridge

The Ždrelac Bridge connects the islands of Pašman and Ugljan. It has both a cycling path and a pedestrian path. From the bridge, you can see Kornati National Park, Dugi otok and Iž. The connection, paths and views come together at this structure: you can consider the bridge as part of a cycling or walking route while also taking in the islands and national park mentioned above.

The bridge and the Panorama cycling route are two different points of reference for planning an active trip: the route starts and ends in Ždrelac and is 12.6 kilometers long; the bridge has cycling and pedestrian paths and connects Pašman with Ugljan. This makes it possible to decide whether to focus on a designated cycling route or on the paths across an island connection.

More activities on the sea

A range of activities on the sea are available in Ždrelac. Alongside the beaches described above, the options therefore also include activities on the water. If you like to plan your stay around the sea, you can take this focus into account when choosing your destination, alongside beaches, cycling and culture.

The facts offer different pointers for choosing between local attractions: Matlovac is the sandy beach with showers and changing cabins, while Soline is centrally located in a natural bay and appeals to visitors who prefer a quieter beach. The church adds history and religious paintings to the choices; the cycling route and the bridge each offer their own opportunities for activity and views.
