Racisce harbour from NW

The small harbour of Luka Račišće lies on the N coast of the island of Korčula in Croatia, separated from the W end of the long Peljesac Peninsula on the mainland by a mile-wide channel. The bay is around five miles W of the facilities of Korčula (town), which are easily accessible by bus.

The village of Račišće is built around the natural amphitheatre of the bay and surrounded by forested hills. Its harbour provides a peaceful alternative to the bustle of Korčula Town during the busy summer months and shelter is good in any but northerly winds.
