Lavdara Island – Sandy Beach and First Swimming Stop on a Boat Trip to Kornati
Lavdara is a small island located near Dugi Otok, on the northern side of the Zadar archipelago. Although technically not part of Kornati National Park, it is the first stop on boat excursions heading toward Kornati – especially for a morning swim and relaxation before entering the park.
Why Lavdara as the First Stop?
✅ Sandy beach: Lavdara has several coves with shallow, sandy bottoms – perfect for swimming, especially for families with children.
✅ Crystal-clear sea: The water is exceptionally clean and clear, ideal for snorkeling and relaxing.
✅ Peaceful start to the trip: The sea is usually calm in the morning, and Lavdara offers a perfect balance between gentle swimming and preparing for a full-day excursion.
