ACI Marina Palmižana (Hvar) Opčina Hvar - Sveti Klement - Croatia Marina in Hvar, Split-Dalmatia County

ACI Marina Palmižana, open from April to end of October, is one of the most beautiful marinas in the Adriatic. Located in its namesake bay on the northeastern coast of Sveti Klement, the largest of the Pakleni Islands, the marina serves as an ideal base for exploring the archipelago's numerous hidden coves and isolated beaches. The distance between Palmižana marina and the island of Hvar is 2.4 nautical miles. Although there is a chance of a tidal wave in case of heavy west or southwest winds, most of the time the cove provides safe shelter from the waves and wind. NAVIGATION: To the north, in front of the marina entrance, lies Baba Rock, marked with a black-and-red column with two spheres. It is only visible during low tide and at night is marked by lighthouse Fl(2)W 10s 7m 4M at position 43°10.1'N 16°23.8'E. As the rock is wide, it is recommended to steer clear of it, especially on its northern side. The entrance to the marina is marked with an ACI signboard. When approaching from Cape Pelegrin, it is safe to steer toward Baba Rock. When approaching from the direction of the town of Hvar, the same landmark should be used, taking care not to sail too close to the islet of Gojca. If approaching from the south, the course leads between the islands of Borovac and Sveti Klement, where the sea is less than 5m deep. This passage is not lighted.
