Dinjiška is located in the southern part of Pag island, along the main road connecting the island to the Pag bridge. The settlement stretches along a shallow bay, good for families with children. The most distinctive feature of the surroundings are the remains of old salt pans, testifying to the long tradition of salt production on the island. The history of Dinjiška is closely linked to the town of Pag. Inhabitants traditionally lived from sheep farming, viticulture, and salt production. The barren, moon-like landscape of Pag island forms a fascinating contrast here with the deep blue Adriatic sea. Nearby are archaeological sites dating back to Liburnian times. Gastronomy is dominated by the famous Pag cheese (Paški sir) and lamb meat, which gets a unique taste from the island's salty herbs. In local konobas, one can enjoy freshly caught fish and homemade wine. Dinjiška is also a good starting point to explore the culinary secrets of the entire island. Visitors reach Dinjiška easily via the Pag bridge. The settlement gives a relaxed atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of Novalja or Zrće. It is a convenient place for those who appreciate long walks along the coast and want to get to know the authentic island culture.
