The port is located in the natural bay in the north-western part of the island of Zlarin. It is naturally protected from most winds, with the exception of winds blowing from the west and northwest. This port has more landing quays and quaysides with berths for smaller boats than any other.
The port has 375 m of stone and concrete quay with berths for smaller boats. At the entrance of the bay, at the head of the largest landing quay, stands a SOLAR-POWERED beacon ( Red flash 0,5 + 2,5 sec. 3 NM ).
As laid down in the Implementation plan, a small harbour with berths for smaller boats will be built north of the main landing quay; the harbour will have a five-ton column crane for lifting and lowering boats.
North side – has berths for passenger boats (from the head of the wharf to the middle), and berths for excursion boats (from the middle of the wharf to the base).
South side – has berths for powerboats, yachts, excursion and fishing boats and small crafts.
