Sukošan offers a variety of possibilities for those who want to spend their holiday with other activities besides bathing.
The surrounding beautiful nature suitable for walks and bike riding, ideal conditions for sailing, open recreation grounds and a new equipped sports hall will satisfy all those who like to spend their holidays being active.
Basketball - if you like basketball you have come to the right place. In the centre of the small town, on the basketball court, basketball is being played every day. The basketball club „Sukošan“ organizes a basketball camp for children during the summer, and also tournaments and street ball competitions.
Soccer and indoor soccer are also very popular and every summer indoor soccer tournaments are being organized by NK“Zlatna luka“ in the Sports centre.
Beach volleyball is undoubtedly a summer sport, interesting and attractive. If you like to play volleyball there are courts on the beach „kod Križa“ and „Makarska“.
You will feel the attraction of volleyball if you take part at the tournaments that are held every year at the end of July.
It must be a wonderful feeling to pass the tracks along the sea in the morning and in the evening, but not less beautiful is to pass through the fields, vineyards and olive-groves, feel the smell of macchia and medicinal herbs, enjoy from the hill the view of Sukošan and the marina, the Pašman channel, the island on one side and the fertile fields of Ravni kotari on the other side.
This is a typical game for Dalmatian places and so also for Sukošan. On Sundays and on feast days men gather on the bocce grounds. It is very interesting to follow the rather temperament game at first, but you could try playing it later yourself.
Surfers can surf as long as there is enough wind and do spectacular jumps breaking the waves. To some surfers this is the most relaxing entertainment, while others enjoy the danger and the adrenalin, but it is also a form of lifestyle, a search for the limit of perfection in skills and self-expression.
The surfers can enjoy themselves in Sukošan throughout the year. During spring and autumn you'll catch a good bora (a north-eastern wind) or a mild jugo (a south wind) and during the summer, good conditions will be provided by tramontana (a north wind) and maestral (a landward breeze). Due to the vicinity of the islands, surfing is very safe here so everyone who enjoys surfing can do it regardless of their level of knowledge and skills.
Although Sukošan is a place traditionally bound more with the fertile fields rather than fishing, today the local residents, along with tourism and agriculture also engage in fishing (from angling and fishing by lamplight to fishing with nets). With a little luck you could come across a host who will take you fishing with nets or by lamplight, and if not, you can take your fish-hook and find yourself a good spot. We wish you good hunting.
The Zadar County is an area that has the most islands in Dalmatia and the advantage of such a maritime zone is that, regardless of the weather conditions you can always find a safe place to go diving.

Enjoy a special adventure and dive into the blue paradise of the Adriatic.
