Božava

Božava is a small harbour village on the coast of Dugi Otok, set in a sheltered bay surrounded by pine forest. It is the most developed tourist spot on the island, with a hotel complex of four hotels as well as private accommodation, despite its small permanent population.

The harbour offers berths for visiting boats, where you can moor alongside or stern-to with a line to a mooring buoy. The harbour is well protected from most winds, though a southerly jugo wind can create swell and some unrest inside the basin. Berths are available both further inside the harbour and along the breakwater. During summer a tourist train runs from the harbour to the well-known Sakarun beach.

Boats can take on water and electricity at the quay. Within walking distance of the harbour you'll find several bars, a restaurant, and a small grocery shop, making it easy to provision or enjoy a meal close to the water. The village also has a diving centre.

The surroundings feature pine forest, a sheltered bay, and easy access to the island's natural highlights, including the popular Sakarun beach, reachable by boat or via the local tourist train in summer. Drop anchor in Božava and enjoy the calm, unspoiled atmosphere of this small, welcoming harbour village on Dugi Otok.
