LOJENA - ISLAND OF SMOKVICA VELA

LOJENA (43° 43'N; 15° 29'E), cove with a seasonally inhabited village on the S coast of Smokvica vela, at the SE entrance to Kornatski kanal.

Approach: The same as for Ravni Zakan cove. The best approach is from SE or from Murtersko more but not between Smokvica vela and Smokvica mala.

Mooring: The cove is sheltered from NE and NW but exposed to S. At the head of the cove is a fishing harbour (depth up to 1.3 m); moor stern or bows to the jetty. At the first signs of a storm from the S go to Lavsa cove or one of the anchorages between the islets of Ravni Zakan and Kameni Zakan.

Facilities: Water from the cistern in the village.
