Frequently asked questions about a holiday to Mandre (FAQ)

Is Mandre suitable for a holiday with small children?

Yes, Mandre is one of the most family-friendly places on Pag. The beaches have a gradual slope into the sea and the village quay is car-free, which makes it ideal for a family holiday. For sandy beaches, you can head to nearby Čista Plaža or Planjka.

How do I reach the island of Pag: via the bridge or the ferry?

This depends on your route. If you come from the north (Rijeka/Senj), the Prizna-Žigljen ferry is the fastest route. If you come from the south (Zadar), you drive for free over the Pag bridge. Mandre is centrally located, so both options are easy to do.

Are dogs allowed on the beaches of Mandre?

In the village itself, dogs are often not allowed on the main beaches in the high season. However, there is an official dog beach (Jadra) near Stara Novalja and many quiet, secluded coves around Mandre where your dog can enjoy a swim.

Do I need a car in Mandre?

Although buses run between Novalja and Pag town, we strongly recommend a (rental) car. This allows you to easily visit the hidden bays, the cheese farms in Kolan, and the historic cities in the Zadar region.

What is the best period for a sun holiday in Mandre?

For the warmest temperatures, choose July or August (average 29°C). Do you want to avoid the crowds but still swim? Then June and September are fantastic, with a sea temperature of around 23°C.
