Sailing in: The orientation point is the Funtana settlement, with the belfry on a hill above the coast line and a green post (port light) at the head of the breakwater.

On the southern entering promontory, between the islet of Veli Školj and the coast, there are the Funtana shallows, marked by a post of yellow-red colour with two black cones with tops turned upwards. In the bay, about 200 m west from the pier, there are rocks and reefs. The safest way to sail in is from the west side; watch for the Janjci shallows.
