Telašćica Bay, which gives the whole Nature Park its name, is situated on the south-eastern part of the island of Dugi Otok. It retracts inland about 8 km and is widest on its southern side at about 1.6 km. This part of the bay, which faces south-east, opens towards the neighbouring Kornati islands. The bay itself is very indented with 25 coves, capes and 5 islands. Thanks to its position, it is protected from the north-easterly wind from the mainland and the southerly wind from the open sea. Because of these features, Telašćica is one of the largest and best protected natural harbours on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. The name Telaščica is probably derived from the Latin name of tre lagus, which means "three lakes". It consists of three parts, which are separated by isthmuses. These three parts are Tripuljak, Farfarikulac and Telašćica. These three bays are actually morphogenetic Karst sinkholes, which ended up under the sea some 10,000 years ago after the Würm glacial stage.

The bay’s seabed is mostly covered with sea-flowering plants and habitats extremely rich in animal life and very important for the reproduction of numerous fish species.
