💡 Tips
- Take advantage of the rare sandy beaches, which are well-suited for families with small children.
- The water in the bay is very shallow and therefore much warmer than the open sea.
- Visit the remains of 'Castrum Liubae' on the peninsula for a touch of history.
- Parking is available near the beach, but in high summer, you should arrive early.
- Enjoy the sunset directly from the sandy shore, the bay provides an impressive backdrop.
🍽 Food
Buy fish directly from local fishermen at the small harbor for an authentic dinner.
Chard with potatoes and plenty of olive oil is the classic side dish for fish.
In the early season, the region is known for particularly sweet and juicy cherries.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Along the main road, you'll find small stands with local fruits and vegetables in summer.
Many households in the old part of the village sell their own wine and brandy (rakija).
Walk to the ruins at the end of the peninsula for absolute peace and the sound of the waves.

Water temperature…
Ljubač is a gem near Zadar, distinguished by its geological uniqueness: vast sandy beaches with very shallow waters. This makes the village one of the best destinations for families with small children in all of Dalmatia. The main beach, Plaža Ljubač, provides natural shade and a gentle entry into the sea. The village has preserved its original character with narrow streets and old stone houses. Historically, the area has been inhabited since antiquity, as evidenced by the remains of the medieval castle Castrum Liubae on the nearby Ljubljana peninsula. Residents traditionally engage in fishing and agriculture, particularly the cultivation of figs and olives. Its location in a protected bay ensures pleasant water temperatures from May to September. In local konobas, guests can enjoy fresh fish straight from the boat. Ljubač is also an excellent starting point for visiting Pag Island or the Paklenica National Park.
