Šćedro is a protected landscape, covered in pine and maquis. Its name means merciful: for centuries the island gave shelter to ships in the Korčula Channel, and in Mostir bay are the remains of a Dominican monastery.

The bays of Lovišće and Mostir on the north coast are deeply indented and sheltered from jugo, so they are a favourite refuge when it blows from the south. Lovišće has buoys and a few konobas that open in summer. There are no supplies on the island; the nearest shops are in Zavala and Jelsa on Hvar.

For boaters

Anchorages

  • Uvala Lovišće

    Sheltered from Jugo, Oštro, Lebić

    Open to Tramontana, Bura

    The main refuge between Hvar and Korčula, popular in jugo: about forty concession buoys in the arms of the bay and a few konoba buoys, and the sand with weed gives good holding. Avoid it in tramontana and strong bura. Expect gusts down the slopes, at night too, so take a long line ashore.

  • Uvala Moster

    Sheltered from Levant, Jugo, Oštro, Lebić, Pulenat

    Open to Tramontana

    The buoys are at the head of the bay and there are few of them: several are reserved for guests of the konoba and are almost always taken. South of the buoys the depth is not enough for sailing yachts, and there is only about 1 m at the head of the small pier.
