| summary= The town of '''Pakoštane''' lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], around four miles SE of [[Biograd]] and opposite the SE end of the island of [[Pašman]]. Barely a mile behind the town is the huge ''Vransko jezero'' ([[wikipedia:Lake Vrana (Dalmatia)|Lake Vrana]]), a [http://www.pp-vransko-jezero.hr/en/ nature reserve]. 
 +
 
 +
The town has a small harbour, which is unsuitable for yachts, but a couple of lovely anchorages between the three islets lying off the town. The anchorages are only suitable for use in settled weather and untenable in strong winds with anything west or south in them.

The town of Pakostane lies on the Adriatic coast of [[Croatia]], around four miles SE of [[Biograd]] and opposite the SE end of the island of [[Pasman]].  Barely a mile behind the town is the huge lake Vransko, a popular nature reserve.  The town has a small harbour, which is unsuitable for yachts, but a couple of lovely anchorages between the three islets lying off the town.  The anchorages are only suitable for use in settled weather and untenable in strong winds with anything west or south in them.

==Local Weather==
+
==Charts==
-
Diurnal winds along the coast are mostly moderate during the summer months, predominantly from NW and rarely exceeding force 4/5.  At night, katabatic winds off the mountains are a feature of some of the harbours along the NE Adriatic coast.  During early spring and (especially) autumn conditions can be more unsettled, occasionally accompanied by violent thunderstorms - luckily of short duration - with winds of 30-35 knots or more and vicious, steep seas.  In the winter the sudden, violent N wind off the mountains, the ''bora'', is much to be feared, especially along the Velebitski channel.  It tends to blow less strongly S of Zadar.

''See [[Northern Dalmatia#Charts|Northern Dalmatia]]''.
-
Equally prevalent in winter - although not uncommon in summer - is the ''scirocco'', a S/SE wind that blows up from North Africa, usually in advance of a depression moving E across the Mediterranean. Unlike the ''bora'', the ''scirocco'' only occasionally exceeds gale force, but is still a phenomenon to be wary of, especially if on a lee coast.

==Approach and Navigation==

==Navigation==
-
Pakostane is approached either from NW along the channel separating the mainland from the islands of Ugljan and Pasman or from S around the southern end of the island of Pasman. There are no dangers in the approach from NW other than the numerous islands in the Pasmanski Kanal.  In the approach from S there are numerous rocky islets, some with shoals off them, and careful pilotage is needed.  On closer approach, the three islets just off the town are conspicuous.  The largest, central one has a cross on the top.

Pakoštane bay from NW

The town of Pakoštane lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, around four miles SE of Biograd and opposite the SE end of the island of Pašman. Barely a mile behind the town is the huge Vransko jezero (Lake Vrana), a nature reserve.

The town has a small harbour, which is unsuitable for yachts, but a couple of lovely anchorages between the three islets lying off the town. The anchorages are only suitable for use in settled weather and untenable in strong winds with anything west or south in them.
