Halfway down the Adriatic coast, in the Pašman channel and along the highway between Zadar and Šibenik, there are 15 km of the attractive shoreline, stretching along the quiet and clear bays and an archipelago of islets. This is the pearl of the riviera, an attractive tourist resort of traditionally hospitable hosts. The settlement, named Pristan until the 16 th century, has developed around the medieval church dedicated to apostles St. Filip and Jakov. Northeast of the place there is a field with St. Roko church, a remnant of a once wealthy Benedictine abbey from the 11th century. Sv. Filip i Jakov is not merely the sun, clear sea, exquisite beaches or centennial pine forests, because, beside the natural beauty, there are high-quality tourist premises and hotels, sport and recreational facilities and entertainment programs, as well as the rich cultural heritage. You can reach tourist resort of St. Filip i Jakov, easily and quickly by bus, car, railway or ship line to Zadar. There is also a possibility of arriving by plane to Zadar airport, about 25 km outside the town.
