Plaža Veli Bok
Plaža Veli Bok is a long, wild pebble-and-sand beach on Pag prized for its natural beauty, stunning views and peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere. It has no facilities and is reached by a steep, unpaved downhill path (or by boat), so visitors must bring their own supplies. Nudism is common on both sides, and an underwater wreck makes it interesting for snorkelers and divers.

- Late spring to early autumn for swimming; arrive prepared with shade for midday heat and stay for the notably beautiful sunset.
