 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.

In the approach from the 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.
