CRVENA LUKA

CRVENA LUKA (43° 56'N; 15° 30'E), small bay, hotel complex (13 hotel buildings, 27 bungalows) and small harbour some 2M southeast of Biograd.

Approach: The white tower with a column (light with sectors) on the islet of Ostarije, SW of the entrance to the bay can be easily identified.

Warning: Between the islet of Ostarije and the mainland is a reef extending 100m SE of the islet; approach the bay by going south of the islet and giving it a berth of at least 100 m.

Mooring: The bay is sheltered from the bora; the sirocco causes a considerable sea. Yachts can moor along the pier (depth off the head 3 m) on the NW coast of the bay or anchor in the middle of the bay (depth 36 m); good holding. Leave the bay as soon as you see signs heralding the sirocco.

Facilities: Provisions (in shop and restaurant) and water are available; fuel at the petrol station in Biograd.

In Bozakovica cove near Crvena luka is the Club Miditerranie village with Tahitian-style huts (300 bungalows) and hotel buildings.
