Approach: Steep whitish cutting behind a concrete platform; three harbour cranes, iron tower (light green) on Trget point.

Mooring: There is a masonry waterfront NW of the steep pier. Small craft can only moor at the small number of buoys. The sirocco is felt here with great force, the bora is fierce and blows in gusts.

Harbour branch office, customs and post office in Trget (1.5km).

Warning: Alluvial sediments brought down by the Rasa river causes variation in the depth of the sea which may be as much as 1m. When the river is in spate after rain, currents may make it difficult to manoeuvre and sail into or out of the inlet.

Facilities: Water hydrant on the shore, provisions in shops in Rasa and Labin.
