An electricity cable spans the channel at its E end, with a clearance of 45 metres. Anchor with care at the N or S end of the long bay on the W side of the channel, noting the inshore rocks fringing the bay and - particularly - the single rock just awash at the S end. You will be dropping anchor in depths of around 10.0 metres, so it is wise to take a line ashore. Holding is good in sand and weed. No facilities ashore.}} |

Jakljan

| |
Jakljan Island is the northernmost of a chain of small islands lying barely two miles off the coast of Croatia NW of the port of Dubrovnik, and immediately W of the larger island of Šipan. Known as the Elafiti Islands (from the Greek word elaphos, meaning deer, with which the islands were presumably formerly populated), the chain is mostly heavily forested and unspoilt. Several of the islands are popular day trip destinations for holidaymakers staying in Dubrovnik, but visiting yachts using the various anchorages around the islands can usually escape the worst of the crowds (especially outside the peak months of July and August) and even the busier anchorages quieten down at night when the tripper boats go home. Jakljan Island offers two attractive anchorages in settled weather on its N and E sides.
