What beach activities should we do in Zadar?
The best beach activities to do in Zadar involve exploring the stunning coastline and islands, with boat trips to the Kornati National Park being a top recommendation.

The Kornati National Park, an archipelago of 89 islands, islets, and reefs, offers exceptional opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, and simply enjoying the clear Adriatic waters. Many full-day boat excursions depart from Zadar's Old Town harbour, often including lunch and stops at various coves and beaches within the park. This is particularly appealing for couples looking for a romantic day out or for those who appreciate natural beauty and a peaceful setting away from the crowds.

For families, a visit to Kolovare Beach, Zadar's main city beach, is a great option. It's easily accessible from the city centre and offers a mix of pebble and paved areas, along with amenities like changing rooms, showers, and cafes. Children can enjoy swimming in the calm waters or playing in the shaded areas. There are also opportunities for paddleboarding and pedal boat rentals, providing gentle water activities for all ages.

Alternatively, for a more secluded experience, consider taking a short ferry ride from Zadar to one of the nearby islands like Ugljan or Pasman. These islands offer numerous quiet coves and beaches, superb for a relaxing day of sunbathing and swimming away from the main tourist hubs.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Zadar as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Zadar for you.
