        A whole series of smaller islands makes part of the island of Rab, as well as the 27 cliffs and reefs surrounding it. To the extreme south of the "Podvelebitski kanal" (the Podvelebit channel) lies the small island Misnjak, and somewhat to the north the island Lukovac. The uninhabited island Dolin which on the western side stands athwarth between the southern part of the island of Rab and Pag in the "Paski kanal " (the Pag Channel) creates a lie in the "Barbatski kanal " (Barbat channel), appropriate for sailing and water sports.

        The so called "Rapska vrata" (Rab narrows), leading form the Pag Channel to the "Uvala s. Eufemije" (St. Euphemia's bay) and the town port, extend from the north cape Dolina to the peninsula Frkanj on the western side of the island, vis-a-vis the town of Rab. Here, in front of the first of three marvellous coves which the islanders call Prva, Druga i Treca Padova (the First, Second and Third Padova) there is a green ornament in the azure blueness - the island of St. Juraj. Further on, in the open sea, in the sea area called Kvarneric, near the cape Lun on the island of Pag, there are some other nice small islands, rich in undersea flora and fauna: Veli and Mali Laganj, Trstenik, Mazunel and Veli and Mali Dolfin.

        Navigation on the clear sea, along the indented southwestern coast of the island, along the parts called Suha Punta and Kalifront, continues up to the bays of Kampor and Gonar, on the opposite side of which lies the island Boljkovac, and then till the big bay Supetarska Draga, ornated by three green jewels: the small islands Maman, Sailovac and Sridnjak. To the extreme northeast, in the "Senjska vrata" (Senj narrows), close to the island Prvic, the big uninhabited island Grgur in the Podvelebit Channel, lies Goli otok. All these island complement the beauty and uniqueness of the main island, Rab.
