The island of Prvic is situated in the central part of the Adriatic, close to important air, land and sea routes; on the sailing route between the Northern and Southern Adriatic, at the southern approach to the Kornati Archipelago, and near the mouth of the Sibenik channel.

The island is about two square kilometres in surface, three kilometres in length, and ranging from 500 to 1200 metres in width. It is low and cultivated. It has two villages (Prvić Luka and Šepurina), with a little over a hundred inhabitants each. The island's shoreline varies from rocky to sandy beaches, attracting guests from nearby towns on the shore. |
