Jaz and proximity of coast in the right corner

Jaz is situated only 55 m off coast, halfway between towns of Primošten and Rogoznica. Its area is 0.137 km2 (0.053 sq mi).[1] The highest peak of this island is approximately 44 m. It is famous for its proximity to the coast. This means visitors can cross over from the coast without the use of a boat, but with a towel in their hands.
