Kukljica is located on the southeastern tip of the island of Ugljan. For generations, this charming locale has been intricately tied to the sea, maritime pursuits, and fishing traditions. It serves as a beloved destination for a myriad of tourists, sailors, day-trippers, and families alike, appealing to visitors of all ages. One of Kukljica’s distinctive attractions is the annual boat procession, a time-honored tradition since 1514, celebrated on August 5th. On this day, the statue of Our Lady is transported by a fleet of boats from the votive church of Our Lady of Snow in the Ždrelašćica bay to the parish church of St. Paul, dating back to the 17th century. This unique maritime procession adds a touch of cultural richness to Kukljica’s seaside allure.
