About
A coastal lagoon at Jadrtovac whose peloid was physico-chemically characterised in a 2012 peer-reviewed paper. The lagoon is a Natura 2000 habitat — a fish spawning ground and a wintering site for birds — so nothing leaves it. There is no built beach, no showers and no parking, and in February 2025 residents were warning about abandoned boats and poaching in the bay.
