The holiday resort and harbour of Crikvenica lies on the mainland coast of Croatia in the Vinodolska channel, opposite the island of Krk and six miles SE of the road bridge that links the island to the mainland. Situated where the Dubracina river enters the sea, the resort has two harbours, a small harbour immediately E of the river (which is for local craft only) and a larger, main harbour half a mile NW of the river entrance, which has laid moorings suitable for visiting yachts. Shelter is good from all directions except NW and W, when Soline bay on the NE coast of Krk offers better shelter.

If approaching from N, a yacht passes under the road bridge linking the island of Krk to the mainland, which has a clearance of over 50 metres. The resort of Crikvenica sprawls for over a mile along the coast six miles SE of the bridge. In the approach from S the buildings of the town and the breakwaters of the two harbours are conspicuous from some distance. A large viaduct crossing a gorge NE of the town is also conspicuous. Either side of the river entrance shallow sandbanks have built up which extend some 200 metres offshore. In the approach from N a yacht should keep outside the two red buoys marking the limit of the sandbank. In the approach from S a single green buoy S of the main harbour breakwater marks the limit of the sandbank. A green light tower marks the end of the harbour breakwater. Depths in the entrance are 5.0 metres and at the quays 3.0 metres. Shelter is good except in winds from NW round to SW.
