Stražica sits on the southern tip of Prvić, the small uninhabited island that closes off the mouth of Baška Bay. From the boulevard in Baška you can see its low silhouette across the water; on a clear day the white lighthouse tower is visible above the rocky shore.
Boat trips run from Baška in season and circle Prvić, usually with a swimming stop in one of the coves on the eastern side. The island itself is karst scrub with a population of wild sheep and not much else — but the snorkelling in the bays below the lighthouse is exceptional, with crystal-clear water and rocky coves untouched by development.
