Susak<\/h1>\n

The small island of Susak lies near Lo\u0161inj. It\u2019s known for shallow sandy bays and a unique yellowish sand. Its particular feature is that it\u2019s car-free, and the locals speak a special Susak variety of the Chakavian (litoral) dialect and extremely brightly coloured traditional clothes. The women of Susak are the only one in Europe with traditional skirts cut above the knee. The entire area of the island is protected cultural heritage.
\nSince the inhabitants of Susak were mostly employed in viticulture and fishing, the development of those economic activities often depended on the states managing this area. During Yugoslavia, the introduction of the tax on wine, the main product of Susak, initiated mass emigration. During the period from 1945 to 1989, 1,518 people left the island. Nowadays, most emigrants live in Hoboken, New Jersey, US.
\nAccording to the latest census of 2011, 151 people live on the island of Susak.<\/p>\n
