Gajac

Gajac is a residential settlement on the northwestern shore of Pag island with apartment buildings and pebble beaches lining the waterfront. The area features a mix of modern residential complexes alongside small coves and swimming spots that shape daily life for residents and visitors.

The settlement originated as a farming and fishing community before transforming in the 1980s when large apartment complexes were built to accommodate tourism growth. This shift turned it into a modern residential holiday destination for visitors from across Europe.

The settlement maintains connections to local traditions through its restaurants serving regional dishes and organizing events that showcase Croatian coastal heritage.

The settlement sits within walking distance of Zrće Beach and has shops, bakeries, and restaurants nearby for daily needs. Most visitors can easily move between residential areas and beaches on foot throughout the day.

In the nearby Konjsko blato wetland reserve, visitors can observe around 160 bird species during walks through the protected natural area. This quiet nature zone offers a stark contrast to the busier beach sections nearby.
