The most direct route is the car ferry from Biograd na Moru on the mainland to Tkon at the southern end of Pašman island — a crossing of about twenty minutes, with departures roughly every hour in summer. From Tkon it is a short drive north (around 15 km) along the island's spine to Mrljane.
The island is also connected by road bridge to Ugljan at the northern end, so you can come via the Zadar–Preko ferry and drive south. Without a car, infrequent local buses run from Tkon. Most visitors arrive on yachts, mooring in the channel or in one of the small marinas at Sutomišćica and Biograd.
