Golubinka cave on Dugi otok
Apart from the magical beach, the Brbinjšćica bay also has other natural beauties, such as Golubinka cave on Dugi otok (Long island). The western shores of the island that are not yet part of the territory of Telašćica Nature Park are full of surprises and the reason why Dugi otok is considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in Croatia and in the Mediterranean. This is a pebble and rocky shore, perforated and cracked with crevices and cavities. One of them belongs to Golubinka cave. The specialty of the Golubinka is its position over and beneath the sea surface with the entry above it. The largest colony of bats on the island with over 3000 animals is marked to live here, as well as the largest marine sponges colony counting 50 different species. Golubinka is the playground of the sea and land, a place where you can step into Had's lobby and go down to the underwater beach under the lights that break through the cracks in salt and limestone layers. Blue and copper, gold and silver, fireworks on the rocks that are concealed by the narrow and mysterious entrance to the cave - this is the most beautiful secret of Dugi otok. Golubinka is located 300 meters from the entrance to Brbinjšćica bay to the northwest. There are frequent excursion boats that sail from Zadar or other places on the island and anchor near the entrance of the cave, but the access from the land is not easy. The journey across the rocks ends on a small plateau from where you can jump into the sea just before the entrance. Several meters of swimming or kayak driving to the hall with glittering vaults and beach from fairytale movies. Golubinka is worth every effort. So, if you find an apartment, room or vacation house on Dugi otok (Long Island), find this cave where you will discover that you have magical powers, the power to relax and forget all the everyday worries and stresses.
