Description

The fishing port Betina is well protected in the northeast of the island of Murter. Yachts up to 1 m draft can dock with mooring lines in the inner basin. Yachts with more draught tie up in the outer basin in front of the waterball pool. During southern and southwestern winds, the wind pushes the water in the harbor. Additional set of lines is then essential. Free moorings are rare and it quickly becomes crowded in the marina. Electricity and water connections are not available. Right in the harbor are several cafes and restaurants.
