Žaborić

Žaborić is a small coastal settlement on the Adriatic Highway, ten kilometres south of Šibenik. Rather than a historic old town, it is defined by a long waterfront promenade linking bathing spots, private apartments and small campsites. Natural sandy patches alternate with pebble beaches, while olive groves and vineyards fill the hinterland; fishing remains part of the local identity alongside tourism and farming. The central shoreline suits an easy waterside walk, while Shark Beach at Put Sike 14 pairs a sandy shallows with a terrace and sun loungers. Žaborić works well as a quiet base for Šibenik but keeps its own summer calendar: the traditional Žaborić Festival is held in July in honour of St Anne. Most places to eat and stay sit close to the water, making it easy to combine swimming, a promenade walk and dinner without driving.

Žaborić forms part of the City of Šibenik and lies about ten kilometres south of the centre, beside the Adriatic Highway towards Primošten. Rather than having one compact historic core, the settlement is defined by coastal neighbourhoods and bays such as Jasenovo, Mrzla Vala and the central bathing area. Its southwest-facing shore looks towards the islands of the Šibenik archipelago. A promenade behind the main beach links apartment streets, cafés and swimming spots, allowing visitors to move between the central parts of Žaborić without driving.
