The bay of Milna is situated at the SW tip of the island of Brac in Croatia, a mile E of the narrow channel that separates the island from its neighbour, Solta Island. It is a very busy harbour during the summer, hosting several hundred yachts at its two marinas of Marina Milna and Marina Vlaska and its town quay to the north of the prominent church at the head of the inlet. As the most sheltered natural harbour on the island, Milna inlet has been in use since Roman times and was subsequently adopted as a naval base by Venetian, Napoleonic and Russian fleets. The harbour has good all-round shelter, although strong W winds cause some swell on the town quay. The harbour is considered an excellent anchorage with space for several vessels in the middle of the outer harbour in 26 to 35 m, between Rt Zaglav and the entrance to the inner harbour E. Coasters are afforded the best anchorage near Rt Bijaka, good holding.
