Stara Novalja is a village in the cove of the same name in the north-eastern part of the island of Pag, 5 kilometers north of Novalja in Croatia. Economy is based on farming, wine culture, fishing and tourism. The cove of Stara Novalja is the submerged part of the "Pasko-Dinjiska" valley. The safest dock for larger ships is located south of the cove called "Drljanda", where the depth reaches 27-38 meters. Smaller ships and yachts drawing up to 3.5 meters are docked along the external part of the jointed pier (in front of the village). Stara Novalja is located on the road "M29". In its vicinity are remains of antique walls, a late antique necropolis, ruins of the pre-Romanesque church of the Holy Cross. Since the ferry harbor was relocated to "Zigljen" (except in some extraordinary weather conditions), Stara Novalja has become a quiet place which offers accommodation facilities in private homes, as well as lodging and boarding services. As such it is preferred by families. The major event is the feast day of Saints Peter and Paul (29th of June).
Beaches: The biggest beach in Stara Novalja is sand beach "Trincel". There are many small beaches in front of the every house.
Climate: Mild and Mediterranean. Springs are lush and green, summers are dry and warm, falls pleasant and winters mild with the cold northeast Bora (wind) sometimes blowing. Daily summer temperatures can reach 30 degrees and nights are pleasantly fresher. Summer sea temperatures reach 25 degrees, while the bathing season starts in May.
