 Poljana from S (note shoals off E headland) |
The small harbour of Poljana is located on the NE coast of the island of Ugljan barely a mile N of the settlement of Preko and three miles W of the city of Zadar on the mainland coast of Croatia. The harbour lies inside the headland of Rt. Sv. Petar, which protects it from N. It is mostly shallow, but a visiting yacht may be able to anchor moor towards the end of the breakwater on the NE side of the harbour. Depths alongside are only 1.5 - 2.0 metres, but further out from the quay increase to 2.5 - 3.0 metres. Shelter in the harbour is good from all except E and SE winds.

There are no dangers in the approach to Poljana from the S, but in the approach from the N there is a dangerous shoal patch extending for some 250 metres SE of the headland of 
Rt. Sv. Petar [[Poljana#Rt. Sv. Petar|Rt. Sv. Petar]] 44°05.475'N, 015°11.288'E on the E side of the harbour. The end of the shoal is marked with a green starboard beacon.
Entrance
The nearest year-round port of entry is Zadar.
Berthing
Most of the harbour is occupied by local small craft and nowhere are the depths much greater than 3.0 metres. The best option for a visiting yacht is to moor bows-to the end of the breakwater on the NE side of the harbour, using the anchor. Depths alongside here are only 1.5 - 2.0 metres, but further out from the quay increase to 2.5 - 3.0 metres. Shelter on the breakwater is good from all except E and SE winds.

Anchorages
It is possible, in settled weather, to anchor off in 7.0 - 8.0 metres outside the harbour and inside the headland or Rt. Sv. Petar [[Poljana#Rt. Sv. Petar|Rt. Sv. Petar]] 44°05.475'N, 015°11.288'E . Holding here is good in sand. The shelter good in the prevailing NW winds but the anchorage is completely open to the S.
