Škarda

|
Skarda Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia, two miles SE of the island of Premuda and half a mile W of the island of Ist. Under two square miles in size and relatively low-lying, the island supports a summer population of barely 20 inhabitants, swelled during the summer by holiday apartment occupants and day trippers from the mainland. There are just two anchorages on the island, the open and rather exposed bay of U. Skarda on the N coast of the island and the sheltered inlet of U. Griparica at the S end. The latter is equipped with mooring buoys for visiting yachts and a restaurant which opens in July and August only.

Tourism
Places to Visit
There is little to do on the island. Most yachts use the anchorages as a lunch stop, although U. Griparica is a popular overnight stop. There is an interesting ‘fortified house’ at the head of U. Griparica, now converted to holiday apartments, with a cannon pointing down the inlet.
