Kornati National Park is primarily a marine ecosystem. Land makes up less than 25% of the park. The true appeal lies in the waters between the 89 islands and reefs.

When sailing or joining an organized boat tour, you will likely visit specific bays, marinas, and protected zones. Plan your route to include a mix of swimming spots and necessary facilities.

Lojena Beach (Levrnaka Island)

Lojena is the only true sandy and pebbly beach within the national park boundaries. It features incredibly clear waters perfect for swimming. Because of its rarity, it is a popular stop for organized day-trip excursions. Arrive early in the morning by private boat to beat the crowds.
