Dramatic Adriatic cliffs, salt lakes, and island-dotted bay on Dugi Otok

Telašćica Nature Park

Telašćica is a nature park situated in the southeastern part of Dugi Otok, a long narrow island in the Adriatic Sea off Croatia's Dalmatian coast. The protected area encompasses a distinctive 10-kilometer-long inlet characterized by steep limestone cliffs, scattered islets, and a remarkable saltwater lake. Designated as a nature park in 1988, Telašćica protects one of the most geomorphologically significant coastal landscapes in the Adriatic region. The park's dramatic vertical cliffs, known locally as the "stene," rise to 161 meters above sea level and plunge to 90 meters beneath the water's surface, creating a dramatic interplay of land and sea that defines the region's character. The bay itself comprises three smaller coves and offers safe anchorage for vessels, while the surrounding landscape features a mix of bare northeastern shores and forested southwestern slopes where pine, olive, and fig trees thrive.
