(June 2010)
CAUTION: RISK OF THEFT. Whilst we were here, our friends woke one morning to discover that their dinghy had been stolen. The outboard was locked on to the dinghy but the thieves managed to remove it and then dumped the dinghy at the shore minus an oar. The bung for the drain in the rigid floor had also been removed.
We'll always treat this anchorage with extra caution because of the theft, which is a shame because otherwise it would have been very good. It's very popular but big so a lot of boats can fit in. The holding and protection are very good. We landed at the small pontoons at the head of the inlet. From here there are several walks. To the left, once you land, and up through the housing to the main road is a mini market. We got a bus from outside the mini market to Pula (15HNK per person each way/about ?2, roughly hourly, just before the hour). We also hired a car from Europe Car near Veruda Marina (HNK380/about ?50) and toured the Istria area for the day. A man in a boat comes around the anchorage selling fruit and veg.
Filled up with diesel at Veruda Marina (7.65HNK currently £.88/?1.03 litre) Their fuel berth is easily accessible and is on the starboard side as you approach the marina.
