Brodarica and Krapanj

Brodarica is a small tourist town located by the Adriatic road. It is surrounded by the city of Šibenik, hatchery ground in Morinjski gulf and nine small islands. It has three thousand inhabitants whose main activity are tourism, fishing, sponge harvesting, and agriculture.

In the town and on the nearby islands there are numerous smaller stony and sandy beaches. Brodarica, as well as the island Krapanj have typical Mediterranean climate. Summer temperatures are approximately 30C.

Krapanj is the smallest, shortest and the least inhabited island in the Mediterranean, known for its traditional fishing and sponge harvesting and processing. Only 300 m is separating Krapanj from its nearest mainland - Brodarica. Traditional occupation of Krapanj inhabitants is sponge harvesting, thus you can find ten active crews for sponge fishing and smaller plants for their processing.

Two national parks can be found in the vicinity of Brodarica - Krka (15 km) and Kornati (18 km). Nearby city of Šibenik has very rich cultural and historical heritage, while the Solaris hotel only 2 km away from the Broadrica offers many sporting activity.
