Betina is a place on the northeastern coast of the island of Murter, which is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge in Tisno. It is located 35 km west of Šibenik. The name Betina comes from the Celtic word «bet» which means mouth and describes the appearance of the naturally formed port of Betina which, like a mouth, protects ships from gusts of wind. The name is also symbolic because throughout history Betina has been called the "mouth of the Šibenik region", because of the fertile "Poja" of Betina, rich primarily in olives and figs, but also in vegetables that nourished the entire region.
Betina, along with Korčula, is the most famous and oldest residence of excellent caulk makers (wooden shipbuilders). It is one of the last refuges of wooden shipbuilding in Europe. Betinska gajeta, which dates back to 1740, is a widely known product of the Betina shipbuilding industry. It is a sturdy heavy ship with a Latin sail with which the inhabitants used to sail to distant properties on the Kornati, Modrave, Prosika and Vrana Lake. In honor of this "holy ship", Regatta for Soul and Body, a competition in wooden boats, is held every year.
In addition to being famous shipbuilders, the people of Betina were also famous shellmen. Many generations of Betinians were nourished by shellfish. Shells were caught using brganje (a device for removing shells from the sea). Except for food, shells were used to obtain dye, which was used to dye cloth to make clothes. They were also crushed and added to construction materials. Today, when shellfish fishing is prohibited, in honor of this tradition, Brganja Day (first Sunday in August), a big all-day festival with an entertainment program, has been held for 40 years.
Betina beaches are scattered all over the place and they are characterized by exceptional sea clarity and attractiveness. They are infrastructurally adapted to bathers.
