Vrsi

Vrsi lies close to Nin, in an area with as much as 34 kilometres of indented coastline, according to the local tourist board. The coast gives the destination several distinct characters: Duboka Draga is set among rocks with views of Velebit, Ričina has a sandy shore and shallow sea, while Mulo is an equipped urban beach with a promenade, hospitality venues and recreation. Kukinica is quieter and can only be reached on foot or by sea, making it suitable for visitors seeking a less developed cove. Vrsi is not a traditional historic centre like nearby Nin; its main appeal is the arrangement of beaches and coves along the coast. Nin and Zadar are close enough for an excursion, while views towards Velebit remain a visual backdrop to the northern coastline. On a first visit, it is worth exploring more than one beach: Ričina, Mulo and Duboka Draga each reveal a different local landscape. Zukve and Mulo form the developed coastal part of the municipality, while natural coves such as Duboka Draga and Kukinica lie outside built-up areas.

Vrsi combines an older inland village with the waterfront districts of Mulo and Zukve on Nin Bay. The local tourist board records 34 kilometres of indented shoreline, alternating between urban beaches with promenades, sandy shallows and rocky coves facing Velebit. The seafaring tradition is especially visible around Mulo, while olive trees and vines remain part of the inland landscape. The small Church of St James, dating from the late 11th or early 12th century, and the 124 medieval graves discovered around it show that Vrsi has a much deeper identity than its modern beach developments suggest.
