Prvić is the most densely populated island of the Šibenik archipelago, and both villages have kept their stone architecture. Faust Vrančić, the Renaissance inventor, is buried in Prvić Luka, where a memorial centre with models of his machines is dedicated to him.
Prvić Luka has a quay with berths and buoys in the bay, sheltered from bura but open to the south-east. Šepurine is on the west coast, with a smaller quay exposed to the maestral. Vodice is a mile away and Šibenik five.
