Cover yourself with medicinal mud in Nin

Among the many natural wonders that Nin has to offer, one of the most significant is the therapeutic mud (peloid), which can be found near the long, sandy Queen's Beach. Thousands of individuals, organized and monitored by a Zadar Health Institution, have utilized the mud for decades to cure numerous conditions like as rheumatic disorders, spinal deformities, muscular and skeletal system difficulties, female infertility, and other skin diseases. The therapy, which typically lasts ten to twenty days, consists of coating the body with mud, basking on the sandy beach, and then washing the mud off with warm sea water. During the months of July and August, this is done in the morning. It is both functional and enjoyable. Swimming and bathing in the warm shallow sea water does wonders.

Nin's mud has been utilized since Roman times. Tegulas, spherical bricks used in baths to transport hot air and currently on display in the Museum of Nin Antiquities, attest to this. But that's not all: the first century Liburnian Goddess Venus Ansotica, who represents the fertility goddess, was discovered on the so-called Punta. The belief is that there was a spa here during the ancient times. Mud is being used as a natural resource in plans to develop a new leisure and tourism center.

Cover yourself in mineral-rich mud, observe the birds, enjoy a long romantic stroll through Nin's old center, or simply rest on the beach; vast sandy beaches are one of the ancient towns of Nin and its Riviera's hallmarks. Thalassotherapy is available at an open-air clinic at Queen's Beach. Medical mud treatments and rehabilitation have been used successfully for over 50 years. All of the beaches are beautiful, but Drijac Beach features a wind and kite surfing school.
