Sali Port of Entry
| |
| |
¹Seasonal |
Sali lies on the SE coast of the island of Dugi Otok off the mainland coast of Croatia, 14 miles SSW of the city of Zadar.
Sheltered from E by the small island of Lavdara two miles offshore, Sali is the largest town on the island and the main ferry port (although U. Triluke now receives the car ferry from Zadar).
While the harbour still hosts a small fishing fleet, it is increasingly given over to tripper boats and yachts, with yacht quays on both sides of its harbour equipped with laid moorings, water, and electricity.
Formerly an important centre for salt production, the main industry of Sali today - other than tourism - is the large fish processing plant on the outskirts of the town.
Over the weekend prior to the feast of the Assumption (15 August), the town hosts the festival of Saljske Uzance, when locals dress in traditional costume and music and dancing is followed by a donkey race and concludes with a candlelit procession of boats around the harbour.

Communication
Luka Sali
There are no dangers in the immediate approach to Sali.
NB: there are shoal patches in the approach from NE off the island of Lavdara and between the two islets a mile NW of it.
Depths in the harbour entrance are 5.0 - 6.0 metres and on the quays 4.0 - 5.0 metres. The harbour is protected from S by a long breakwater with a light structure on the end.
Entrance
Sali is only a seasonala port of entry/exit for Croatia. For details see Entrance: Croatia.
The nearest year-round port of entry is Zadar.
The ferry landing at the NE end of the N quay also serves for entry clearance purposes. A police booth is located there and the area is surrounded by a temporary fence.
Berthing
Once past the outer breakwater (which is used by the fishing fleet), visiting yachts berth on either sides of the harbour:
Sali N quay
Sali S quay
Depths are between 4.0 and 5.0 metres and there are laid moorings, water, and electricity on both quays. Shelter here is good in most conditions, although strong SE winds make the harbour very uncomfortable and it would be untenable in a gale from that direction.
The inner harbour is shallow and usually filled with local small craft.
Note: If mooring alongside take care of the step at the harbour wall just below the surface of the water.
Marinas & Yacht Clubs
None.
Anchorages
See Dugi Otok.
