island of Croatia
Pašman is an island with a surface area of 60 square kilometers, separated from the mainland by the Pašman Channel, which is strewn all over with many islets.
Pasman is connected to the mainland by the Biograd-Tkon ferry line, and by bridge over the Zdrelac strait with the island of Ugljan, with which it shares similar vegetation. The sea currents in the strait change course every six hours, making the sea water here the cleanest in the Adriatic.
Mrljane is a small, undeveloped village, but what it lacks in terms of restaurants and atmosphere it makes up for with a large swimming/play area on the Jackie O. Beach. You can walk for about 100 m out to sea before the water rises to chest height (for an average sized adult). Therefore, it's great for young children. There are trees lining the beach, offering natural shade from the sun.
