As you arrive by boat, one of the first things you'll notice is the stunning architecture. The houses are perfect examples of traditional Mediterranean construction. There are two main areas of Ošljak - the settlement and the protected forest park. The island's forest primarily consists of pine trees that provide ample shade and protection from the intense summer sun. The best way to explore the island is on foot. There is a well-arranged path that follows the coast of the island, stretching for over 2 kilometers.

The islet Galevac or Školjić is located opposite of Preko. It is a favourite destination for swimming, touring and sightseeing of the old church and the monastery collection. It is only 80 meters away from Preko. The idyllic island with a circumference of 650 meters is one of the smaller islands of the Zadar archipelago. There is a Franciscan monastery from the 15th century on the islet, and in the past a printing plant, a gymnasium and a quarantine operated in the monastery, and the Franciscans were most deserving for the education and culture of Preko and the nearby villages. Within the monastery, there is a monastery library, and the collection of old and rare books is a protected Cultural Good of the Republic of Croatia since 2016.

The mild Mediterranean climate, the azure sea, the rocky and sandy beaches, the numerous nearby islands and islets and the memories of past times make the fertile island Ugljan increasingly desirable for fans of the sea and the islands.
