Fratarski otok, smješten nedaleko od Pule, neotkriven je biser za koji rijetko tko zna osim stanovnika Pule. Ovdje turizam nije razvijen pa tako nema prenapučenosti turistima.

Stanovnici Pule često nazivaju Verudu "otokom bratstva i jedinstva". Nalazi se u blizini Pule, a njegova površina je manja od 200.000 kvadratnih metara.

Samostan svete Marije je na Fratarskom otoku osnovan u 18. stoljeću, ali je zatvoren 1806. godine. Franjevci su se vratili na Verudu 1920. godine i izgradili samostan svetog Antuna Padovanskog.

Lokalci ne vole previše govoriti o Fratarskom otoku te ga radije čuvaju kao tajnu. Za razliku od drugih dijelova Hrvatske, turizam ovdje nije razvijen pa na otok dolazi tek neki avanturist ili ronilac zbog očaravajućih lokacija u blizini.

Iako nema turista, na otoku postoji kamp, ali bez struje, vode ili prodavaonice. Unatoč tome, stanovnici Pule dolaze ovdje kako bi se odmorili od svakodnevnice.
