Dugi Otok is 45 km long and 1 to 4 km wide. The island is little inhabited, and even in the summer, it offers peace and quiet.

Around Dugi Otok there are dozens of islands and islets. Together with the Kornati forms the last outer barrier of Dalmatia. Presenting a remarkable morphological diversity with over 200-300m altitude over the sea, the island is also interesting for trekking lovers or just for those who would like to take a walk in the nature.

 The coast of the western part of the island, which houses the Natural Park, has high cliffs and bare limestone rocks that perpendicularly precipitate with a 100m jump in a deep sea from 36m (near the coast) to 65m (wider). In the south-east there are quiet bays and sandy beaches.
