Veli Rat Lighthouse was built on Dugi Otok (Long Island) in 1849 to guide mariners entering the port of Zadar. The 118-foot high brown stone Lighthouse exhibits two White Flashes every 20-seconds 134-feet above sea level visible to a range of 22 nautical miles. According to legend, the walls of the Lighthouse are filled with thousands of egg-whites to keep the Lighthouse cool in the summer heat and strengthen the walls to resist the sea and winds.

Interesting vacation tip:

The nearby Sea Organ of Zadar, Croatia is a unique sea experience. Gerard of Presurfer has published a post about the Croatian Sea Organ designed by architect Nikola Basic. Air holes located in the top row of Sea Organ steps whistle the harmonic sounds of wave movement pushing a column of water through 35 immersed musically tuned plastic tubes. For more information and to hear the Sea Organ, please surf over to the Sea Organ Presurfer Post.
