Vodice is a smaller town situated near Šibenik, overlooking the islet of Prvić. Although it is a small town, Vodice is an important tourist destination for this whole region.

Vodice is a town that has turned to tourism, and in recent times it has been experiencing a significant boom. Thanks to the development of tourism, many hotels have opened in Vodice, and the number of private accommodation units in Vodice keeps growing. Besides accommodation capacities, the town extends and enriches its tourist offer every year. Its hosts offer guests a wide choice of activities, plenty of options for excursions, evening outings and a holiday by the sea on the beach. The offer of restaurants and cafés is of a high standard.
When we write about the tourist attractions in Vodice, we should certainly mention that the town is surrounded by natural beauty. We mainly mean the proximity of the Krka National Park and the Vransko Lake Nature Park. If you have an adventurous spirit and love nature, be sure to sign up for a tour of these natural attractions when you stay in Vodice.
Below we will describe the Krka National Park, and then the Vransko Lake Nature Park.
The Krka National Park is very spacious, and it is adorned by an unchanged area of exceptional and manifold natural values. Within its boundaries the park itself protects one or more preserved or only slightly altered ecosystems.
The purpose of this park is primarily scientific, followed by cultural, educational and recreational. The tourist side of activities in the park is limited to visiting and sightseeing. Such a preserved part of nature is hard to find elsewhere, so the wish to protect it in the coming years is understandable.
It lies entirely within the territory of Šibenik-Knin County, close to Vodice, and tours through the park are easy to organise.
Besides Krka, near Vodice there is also the Vransko Lake Nature Park. This natural phenomenon lies north of Vodice, if you are heading towards Zadar. Vransko Lake is special because it lies very close to the sea. In fact, these two bodies of water, the lake and the sea, are separated by only a few metres of land, over which the Adriatic Highway runs. If you drive along the D8 state road, at some moments you can see both Vransko Lake and the Adriatic Sea at the same time. Apart from being very close to the sea, Vransko Lake is also the largest natural lake in Croatia.
Over the year a large number of sport anglers and amateur fishermen come here to enjoy untouched nature and try their luck at one of the richest fish habitats. Vransko Lake is known for the large number of trophy catches, most often catfish, as evidenced by the many photographs that circulate on our portals.
Besides the large number of fish species, Vransko Lake is a natural habitat for many kinds of waterbirds. It is certainly worth a visit, especially for those who enjoy the blessings of nature.
Since we are already by the sea, there is no point in not mentioning the beaches of this place. Vodice has a beautifully indented coastline, varied, with wonderful islands in front of it. The view from the beach is adorned by the silhouettes of larger and smaller islands. A good time in Vodice is guaranteed, both along the waterfront in the local bars and on the beach under the summer sun, to the sound of waves lapping the shore.
Lovers of sun and sea have a really large number of beaches to choose from in the Vodice riviera. Most of them are pebble and sandy beaches. The beaches are distinguished by interesting and rich sports facilities. However, some are reachable only by boat, and there sailors and people who like to have their peace will enjoy themselves. Sea temperature in Vodice.
When we write about the beaches of this town, two stand out from the crowd. We will mention them specifically, because they are an example of what a beach should be.
The most famous and most beautiful beach in Vodice is certainly the Blue Beach. This beach is the proud holder of the Blue Flag, and it is adorned by a 4-kilometre-long and varied shoreline. The surface is concreted in places, and partly pebbly. On the beach, and around it, there are catering facilities, stalls and everything you need when you want shade with a meal or a drink. A refreshment with an ice cream will also come in handy, especially for the youngest.
The second place we would like to single out is the Hangar bathing area. It is suitable for children and adults alike. Here too you can enjoy numerous sports activities and entertainment, or relax in the café or bar on the beach.
The other beaches are a good choice too. You will not go wrong if you spend time on any of them. They are all clean and beautiful, and the choice is a matter of personal taste. Some are more suitable for families with children, while other beaches will suit young people who love fun and loud music better. Sailors will find secluded spots for themselves and enjoy solitude. Later, when they have had their fill of swimming, they can moor at the pier and spend a pleasant evening in Vodice along the waterfront. The promenade along the shore is the main meeting place for all guests.
Festive evenings with music, company and laughter describe this place completely. Company over drinks and selected specialities of the local restaurants is an experience that is especially remembered.
