The northernmost settlement on Dugi Otok, Veli Rat is dominated by its famous lighthouse — one of the tallest in the Adriatic at 42 metres — which has guided ships through the treacherous northern channel since 1849. The surrounding coastline of wild pine forests, turquoise coves and dramatic rocky headlands makes this one of the most beautiful spots on any Croatian island.
