Lighthouse description
This lighthouse was built in 1849 on the northwest cape of the island of Dugi otok. It is surrounded by a dense pine wood, beautiful bays and pebble beaches, and it is one of the most beautiful on the Adriatic. Near the lighthouse (3 km), there are villages Veli Rat, Verunic and Polje. Because of good traffic connections, guests can easily access the villages to buy groceries. Dugi otok can be reached by a ferry from Zadar to Bribinj (it takes an hour and a half), and the lighthouse is situated 9 km from Bribinj. Guests can reach the lighthouse by their own car, but they should drive carefully since one part of the road is still non-asphalted. There is a keeper at the lighthouse.
Did you know...
... that 10 thousand eggs were used in the construction of Veli Rat lighthouse in order to achieve greater material consistency?
Maybe that's the reason why Veli Rat lighthouse with its 40 meters high tower is the most beautiful and popular lighthouse in the Adriatic. Dugi otok Island with its coves, beaches, pine-tree forest, great connection with the mainland and rich offer of activities, is a great place for summer fun and recreation in untouched nature. Around 10 minutes walk from the lighthouse there's a lagoon - sailors' favorite area. One of the attractions of this secluded place are remains of a stranded boat hidden in its shallow waters. Popularity of Veli Rat lighthouse among the tourists is best illustrated with the fact that the reservation for one of the stays in summer of 2003, was actually made in year 2000.
