Approach

Landmark during the daytime is a chapel southeast of the village. When approaching Šimuni Bay during the night as a landmark there is a green lighthouse (Fl G 3s 7m 3M) at the southern cape of the entrance, the longitude and latitude of which are 44°27,8’ N 14°57,5’ E. After passing the lighthouse, one should keep to the middle of the channel untill ACI marina Šimuni comes in sight. When entering the inlet of ACI marina Šimuni there is a shoal along the western coast, so when approaching steer to the middle of the bay and keep clear of the coast. In bora and at night anchorage in the northeastern part of the marina is recommended.

In the Area:
The island of Pag is the most economically developed of the Croatian islands. It is well known for its sheep, the cheese they produce and its traditional lace. It does not have any especially picturesque landscapes, yet it still has its own particular charm. Simuni is a small fishing village about 11km from the village of Pag , which is located in the Bay of Pag , where the sea is shallow and the mud is considered to be healing. The village of Pag dates from the 15th century, and a portion of the town wall, the Collegiate Church and St. Marguerite Church (both 15th century) are well preserved. There are nice panoramic views from the tops of St. Vid and St. Juraj. A summer carneval is organized annually in the Basaca Campground.
