+ | | summary= '''Pag''' Island is a long and narrow island, the country’s fifth largest, lying off the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] opposite the Velebit mountain range. Nearby islands include [[Rab]], [[Olib]] and [[Vir]]. Although nearly 40 miles long, the width of the island varies from just two to ten miles. The island is connected to the mainland via a road bridge at its extreme SE end, with an air clearance of 35 metres and therefore navigable by all but the largest yachts . On its eastern side lies the Velebit Channel, infamous for the violence of its winds during a strong bora. The island is largely bare of trees, unlike some of its neighbours, and subsists largely on fishing, tourism and the production of wine and cheese. The tangy, salty Pag cheese, soaked in olive oil, is widely considered one of the best in Croatia. Visiting yachts mostly make for the main harbour of [[Pag Town]] on the E coast or the marina at Simuni on the W coast, though there are also several good anchorages around the island, depending on wind conditions. | ||

The town lies at the head of a large inlet facing the Velebit mountains and is surrounded by salt pans (the manufacture of the famous Pag cheese being the other major industry). The 16th-century church of St Mary’s has an intriguing sculpture over its door, showing the Virgin surrounded by Pag women in local headdresses. The nearby Ducal Palace has a similarly ornate doorway. Pag Town also boasts a small lace museum, celebrating the other craft (in addition to cheesemaking) for which the island is celebrated. | ||

Pag Island is a long and narrow island, the country’s fifth largest, lying off the mainland coast of Croatia opposite the Velebit mountain range. Nearby islands include Rab, Olib and Vir. Although nearly 40 miles long, the width of the island varies from just two to ten miles. The island is connected to the mainland via a road bridge at its extreme SE end, with an air clearance of 35 metres and therefore navigable by all but the largest yachts . On its eastern side lies the Velebit Channel, infamous for the violence of its winds during a strong bora. The island is largely bare of trees, unlike some of its neighbours, and subsists largely on fishing, tourism and the production of wine and cheese. The tangy, salty Pag cheese, soaked in olive oil, is widely considered one of the best in Croatia. Visiting yachts mostly make for the main harbour of Pag Town on the E coast or the marina at Simuni on the W coast, though there are also several good anchorages around the island, depending on wind conditions.

Tourism
History
Give a short history of the island.
Places to Visit
The island is quite bare and rocky and, apart from its proximity to the awe-inspiring range of the Velebit mountains, has little to recommend it in the landscape. Most of the tourism interest centres on Pag Town, which largely dates from the 15 century and contains many old buildings. The town lies at the head of a large inlet facing the Velebit mountains and is surrounded by salt pans (the manufacture of the famous Pag cheese being the other major industry). The 16th-century church of St Mary’s has an intriguing sculpture over its door, showing the Virgin surrounded by Pag women in local headdresses. The nearby Ducal Palace has a similarly ornate doorway. Pag Town also boasts a small lace museum, celebrating the other craft (in addition to cheesemaking) for which the island is celebrated.
