Full Description & Details
Kukljica Harbour sits in a natural cove on the southeast end of Ugljan Island, facing the Pasman channel. The village core, with original folk architecture, is separated from Holiday Park Zelena Punta by the cove, which is always filled with fishing boats, excursion boats, yachts, and sailing ships. The harbour is protected by the cove's shape, offering shelter from prevailing conditions.
The area is known as a gateway to Kornati National Park and Telascica Nature Park due to its proximity to the Zdrelac Passage.
