PAKOSTANE, a small town and harbour on the isthmus which separates Vransko Lake from the sea, 8 km south of Biograd na Moru. Chief occupations are farming, fishing and tourism. It comprises an older part along the coast and a newer part along the main road (M2, E65). The harbour is protected by the islets of Babuljas, Veli Skolj and Sveta Justina; it is exposed to the south-westerly winds.

On several locations there are remains of an ancient settlement; below the cemetery, near the sea, are the foundations of a Roman villa. In the sea one can see the remains of a Roman breakwater. One of the branches of the Roman waterworks, which led from Vrana to Zadar, was directed to Pakostane.
