Description

The town of Porec is built on a small peninsula in the S coast of Istria. The port and the marina are the S of this small bay that is protected by the island W St Nikola.

Warning: several rocks and shoals beyond the coast.
Coming from the S, Hrid Zontujal, block down on the water in the middle of a shoal, facing the bay Mulandarija and  Hrid Regata, another island farther N than Zontujal. N of Regata plicina Bekarija, is a rock about 0.5 M from shore and about 0.45 M S of the old lighthouse tower of St. Nikola.
Plicina Bekarija is indicated by an unlighted buoy.
NW of St. Nikola, the small island Hrid Karbula, about 0.1 M of St Nikola is connected to the island by a shoal of rocky shoals.

Southerly and north-westerly winds can cause waves inside the harbour.

Coming from N, Plicina Meja, indicated by a tag without fire, is at the height of the bay Sigulje, about 1 M Hrid Barbaran which carries a light and faces the town of Porec.

Approach: Of the four approaches into the harbour, the safest is the channel between the Barbaran rock and the head of the northern breakwater (on the northern headland off the island of Sveti Nikola).

Currents: the prevailing tides  reach up to 0.3 knots. Lon-lasting and strong north-westerly and south-westerly winds can increase the speed of the current to 0.6 knots.
