In June 2019, we visited Veli Žal and spent our first two days on Sakarun beach. However, due to the abundance of algae roots, we decided to explore the island and stumbled upon Veli Žal. In my opinion, it is the best beach on Dugi Otok. Despite the stunning clear water and sandy bottom, there were only a few people around. The beach is peaceful and lacks any food stands or attractions (at least during our visit), so it's important to bring your own food and drink to combat the scorching sun. A car is necessary to reach the beach, but there is ample parking and a fully paved road leading to it. Upon arriving at the car park, follow the small path (around 100 meters) to reach the beach area shown in the pictures. Other parts of the beach are composed of sharp rocks, so they are not very safe. I highly recommend this beach.
