|
Sestrunj Island lies off the mainland coast of Croatia nine miles WNW of the city of Zadar. The island is sandwiched between the N ends of the adjacent islands of Dugi Otok and Ugljan. Just under four square miles in size and relatively low-lying, the island supports a population of around 45 inhabitants, swelled during the summer by tourists from the mainland. There are two small settlements on the island, the village of Kablin, situated on the SW coast of the island just over a mile N of the southernmost tip, and the alternative ferry harbour of Hrvatin on the NE coast, which is used during strong S winds. The tiny harbour of Kablin offers good shelter in the prevailing NW winds and in easterlies but is open S. The harbour of Hrvatin is sheltered from S winds but is exposed in winds from NW round to E. The island’s main village of Sestrunj is in the centre of the island, roughly equidistant from the two harbours.
