Located just south of Zadar, the village of Bibinje is often described as a quieter alternative to more touristy destinations – but it has so much more to offer. With its traditional Dalmatian charm, authentic coastal vibe, and a rich maritime culture, Bibinje is an ideal base for a relaxing holiday and for exploring nearby attractions.
Bibinje stretches along the coast for over four kilometers, offering beaches, promenades, and small local eateries. Its proximity to both Zadar and Marina Dalmacija gives you access to various sea activities and excellent connectivity.
Bibinje is known for its many beaches, ranging from well-equipped to more natural and peaceful ones:
The water is crystal-clear, and the seabed alternates between sand and pebbles – ideal for snorkeling and casual diving.
The local seafront promenade invites you to evening walks with views of marinas, sailing boats, and fishing vessels. Almost every street in Bibinje leads to the coast, and many locals still live from fishing, boat rentals, or other sea-based activities.
Bibinje has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. Notable landmarks include:
You’ll find genuine Dalmatian cuisine in Bibinje’s many taverns and restaurants. If you enjoy seafood, you’re in for a treat – freshly caught fish, shellfish, and octopus are staples here.
