Description

The Zaklopica bay in the south of the island of Pasman cuts deep enough into the country to offer mostly good all-round shelter. Except for Bura, the bay offers good protection, especially in the inner part. The bank is rocky and overgrown with pine trees. There is a quaint tavern in the top of the bay. In the bay there are about 10 buoys for yachts up to max. 16m. The depth is around 4-6m. The Konoba Zaklopica is only open during the season and offers authentic Dalmatian dishes. A reservation is recommended because the bay is quite popular and there are very few places in the tavern. !!!Pleas note: The restaurants starts to work from 1 p.m. Reservations must be done at least 3 hours beforehand.!!!
