| summary= The harbour of '''Senj''' lies on the mainland coast of [[Croatia]] in the Vinodolska channel, opposite the SE end of the island of [[Krk]] and close to the point where the Vinodolska channel becomes the Velebitski channel.  The town itself is ancient, dating back well before the Roman period, and well worth visiting. The harbour, however, does not offer good shelter and is a place to be avoided if there is any risk of a ''bora'' or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from N round to SW. In settled weather, however, it is a fascinating place to visit and little frequented by cruising yachts.

'''Senj''' is approached either via the Vinodolska channel leading under the road bridge linking the island of [[Krk]] to the mainland, which has a clearance of over 50 metres, or through the narrow channel between the S end of [[Krk]] and the small island of Prvic.  The harbour lies on the N side of a headland dominated by a conspicuous 16th century castle and consists of a small bay partly protected on the N side by a short breakwater.

===Approach===
+
Depths in the entrance are 6.0 metres and at the quays 3.0 - 5.0 metres.  Shelter is reasonable in moderate winds from NE round to S but poor in all other conditions.  The harbour is untenable in strong winds from N round to SW.

The harbour, however, does not offer good shelter and is a place to be avoided if there is any risk of a bora or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from N round to SW. In settled weather, however, it is a fascinating place to visit and little frequented by cruising yachts.
