Uvala Žakan (43°53′N 15°32′E), situated on the mainland, affords shelter to coasters from most winds. Larger vessels may obtain temporary anchorage about 0. 4 miles WSW of the S entrance point of the cove, in 27 m mud, good holding. When anchoring care is necessary to avoid a submarine cable from Otok Vrgada, which is landed in the cove.
