Lojena Lagoon – ‘The Pearl of Kornati’

Very high on our top things to do in Zadar list, there is one private island beach hidden among the beautiful Kornati Islands. On the south-west part of the island of Levrnaka nested right in the heart of Kornati islands. Lojena Beach, as one of the best beaches in Croatia, is also called ‘the pearl of Kornati’ because it is ‘the only’ sandy beach among private islands, consisting of white pebbles, stones and sandy seabed, surrounded by crystal-clear sea.

Lojena lagoon is the perfect spot for swimming, snorkelling through and with shoals of fish, sunbathing, diving in, relaxing and forgetting about city stress. For gourmet nomads, there is ‘Konoba Levrnaka’ a restaurant owned and run by the famous family Ježina for almost a century preparing freshly caught seafood, and traditional dishes served brilliantly in modern way… Above all one if for sure, Kornati Islands and Lojena Lagoon will make rejuvenate.
