The biggest bay, the bay of Pag, is rounded by 20 km of the gravel beaches.
Pag is the town of the sea salt. The importance of the salt was the main reason that Pag was constructed in the 15th century, according to a plan and as a fortified town.
The original salt manufacture by draining of the sea, which is brought in the small clay pools (saline), is still present on the island. These salt pools are not only an authentic relict of the past but also an interesting photographic motif.

During the summer season, the winter (in February) and summer (at the end of July) carnivals, there is a rich cultural and entertainment program.
“Pag’s Slave girl” (a kind of a “miracle play”), folklore, the carnival wheel dance (so called “kolo”) accompanied by the brass band, old folk costumes, old songs and dances with “mišnjice”, (a kind of an instrument) are the distinguished parts of the centuries-long tradition.

In a dry-land continuation of a shallow bay hides yet another natural wealth – mud which has been tested and proved to be curative.
