 Bay of Medulin from SW |
The large natural inlet of Medulin extends for nearly five miles inland just E of the extreme southern tip of the peninsula of Istria in Croatia. Entered between the headlands of Cape Kamenjak at the tip of the peninsula and Cape Marlera two miles E, the bay contains several small islands, the towns of Medulin and Pomer (the latter with the ACI marina of Marina Pomer) and numerous sheltered anchorages. It is in itself a mini cruising ground in which a yacht could happily spend up to a week in settled weather, with the reassurance of shelter at the marina if conditions suddenly change. Although the bay is very busy with holidaymakers during July and August, it is usually possible to find a quiet spot to anchor somewhere in the inner, virtually landlocked basin, clear of permanent moorings and noisy campsites. Moreover, there is no charge for anchoring in the inlet of Medulin.

The bay of Medulin is entered between the Cape Kamenjak at the southern tip of Istria and Cape Marlera two miles E. The main channel up to the virtually landlocked inner part of the bay passes 
north of the islet of Fenera [[Medulin#north of the islet of Fenera|north of the islet of Fenera]] 44°47.344'N, 013°56.561'E and then between the islands of Ceja and Bodulas, favouring the side closer to Ceja, where the water is deeper. A course of NNW for a further two miles takes you through the main channel and into the inner basin.
Berthing

Places to Visit
Medulin itself and the campsite-infested shores on either side can be very busy with tourists during the summer months, but it is usually possible to find a quiet spot to anchor somewhere around the inner part of the inlet. Once inside the bay, depths are suitable for anchoring almost everywhere between Marina Pomer and Medulin town itself.
