An attractive town of narrow, mediaeval streets climbing up to a conspicuous church belfry, it was originally sited on an island and walled to defend it from Turkish and other invaders. Probably its name comes from a Croatian verb ''primostiti'' – to cover with a bridge. | ||

The shelter is good in settled conditions although an uncomfortable groundswell is experienced with anything S or W in the wind. In strong SW winds shelter in Primošten becomes very poor to untenable. | ||

| Primošten Port of Entry
| |
        
| |
  The small harbour of Primosten | |
| (1) Seasonal Port of Entry (Apr–Oct) |
Primošten lies on the Adriatic coast of Croatia, 12 miles S of Šibenik and five miles NNW of Rogoznica. An attractive town of narrow, mediaeval streets climbing up to a conspicuous church belfry, it was originally sited on an island and walled to defend it from Turkish and other invaders. Probably its name comes from a Croatian verb primostiti – to cover with a bridge.
In more recent times, the island was connected to the mainland by a causeway and Primošten is now a popular holiday town. Visiting yachts have the option of mooring on the short town quay, where there are laid moorings with water and electricity, or picking up one of the 25 mooring buoys laid along the beach on the E side of the bay. The shelter is good in settled conditions although an uncomfortable groundswell is experienced with anything S or W in the wind. In strong SW winds shelter in Primošten becomes very poor to untenable.
