Brbinj is a very special holiday resort on the island of Dugi Otok. The place is beautiful, it is stoned and built of stone. This place is expecting you with long coastal promenades and bike and jogging paths. What you find here is surely unforgettable hikes, beaches off the track, sunshine and a calm environment.
It is located 19 km southwest of Zara in a beeline, from the village centre 21 km in a beeline, on a public road 27 km to the northwest in the middle of Dugi island. It is surrounded by two picturesque bays, Jaz and Lučina.
The Saint Cosmas and Damian parish of Brbinj was first mentioned in 1195. The village got its present name only later because there are documents with name versions „Berbinei”, and „de Berbigno”. A famous Croatian linguist says the name of the village originates from the plant name „verbena” and the place name „Birbinium” was created from it. The territory of the village like the rest of the island used to belong to Zadar, then from 1409, it became part of the Venetian Republic.
At the end of the 18th century it got under French rule, then got under Habsburg power and eventually became part of the French Empire with the whole of Dalmatia. In 1815 the Congress of Vienna gave it to Austria again. After the First World War, it became part of the Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian Kingdom, then Yugoslavia. The village and the parish celebrated their 800th anniversary on August 5, 1995.
This town has many nice places to offer due to its hidden and more private beaches and the caves off the beaten track can be spots of real adventurous discoveries. If you want to discover bays and beaches, the best you can do is to rent a boat and arrive by sea.
The narrow, natural beach with pebbles, Brbiscica lies about 3 km from Brbinj and it is a real hidden secret of the island of Dugi Otok. The beach is accessible by car on a narrow road or from the sea. The small bay is idyllic and silent. Along the coast, you can see an amazing landscape, steep cliffs and caves. There is no gastronomy, sports activity or other tourism infrastructure on the beach. The beach is ideal for romantic couples and dog owners and their pets.
Veli Žal is in the north of the island. This beach is opposite the island of Mežanj and about 10 km from Brbinj. The beach is characterised by the combination of fine white sand and small pebbles, but a part of the sea has rocks. Veli Žal is more than a kilometre long and it is uninhabited. This is a beach that can’t boast facilities like a beach bar, restaurants, or cafés. The colour of the sea is wonderfully blue and green and you can often spot dolphins swimming on the horizon. You can use Veli Žal parking lot for free on the coast bordered by thick pine trees, or you can arrive by sea, on a yacht or boat too.
