The Karin Sea (Karin More) is a shallow inlet of the Adriatic Sea on the eastern Croatian coast, located in Zadar County near the village of Karin. It is a small, protected bay separated from the open Adriatic by narrow peninsulas and islands.

The seabed in the Karin Sea is relatively shallow with sandy and muddy bottoms that warm sooner than open-coast waters, which makes it popular for swimming and family beaches. The inlet has small harbours and mooring spots used by local fishermen and holiday visitors.

The inlet lies within the Dalmatian coastal landscape of islands, peninsulas and karst shoreline features and is accessed from nearby coastal roads and settlements in Zadar County.

The Karin Sea is adjacent to the village of Karin and lies along the Novigrad Sea area of the eastern Adriatic coast.

  • Water conditions: The bay is shallow and warms quickly in summer, making it popular for family swimming and sheltered beach activities rather than deep-water sailing.
