Soline are located in the north-western part of Dugi otok, in the Solišćica bay which due to its depth is ideal for anchoring larger boats and ships.
The place was named after the salt works that were in the bay, and the place was first mentioned in the 12th century. Soline are known for having the first elementary school on Dugi otok.
Near the village is the sandy beach Sakarun, a favourite destination for all visitors of Dugi otok and one of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic.
