Prizna, Coastal settlement in Lika-Senj County, Croatia.
Prizna is a port settlement stretching along the Velebit channel coast between the mainland and Pag Island. The village includes docking facilities, waiting areas, and service buildings designed to support ferry operations.
The settlement began as a transport connection point between the mainland and Pag Island, gradually expanding into a dedicated ferry port. Growth followed the increasing need for reliable maritime links across the Velebit channel.
The settlement revolves around maritime work, where ferry operations and fishing shape how people spend their days. The harbor serves as the natural gathering place where locals interact and maintain their connection to the sea.
Access to the settlement is primarily through the ferry terminal that operates between the mainland and Pag Island. Parking near the harbor is limited, so arriving early is helpful especially during peak travel times.
The port was specially reinforced to withstand the notorious bura wind that regularly sweeps this coastal area. This robust design allows multiple ferries to dock at the same time without storm conditions disrupting operations.
