Sveti Andrija is the largest bay on this rather small island. It faces northwest, so it is choppy and windy during the maestral and tramontana, and also during the bura, except along the east shore. Although it looks well sheltered from the jugo, this wind blows strongly here, without creating waves. The best sheltered spots from the bura are by the old houses on the east shore, where most of the landing areas are. On the opposite side of the bay, where there are twenty or so holiday homes, there is another small pier, but it is usually occupied by local boats and fishing boats. Although the bay is roomy, it is also shallow, so you cannot sail further than half way in. Even here, the depth is only a metre and a half, so you should drop anchor before you draw level with the pier on the southwest shore. The bed is sandy and silty, mostly covered in sea grass, and the anchor holds well. On the southwest shore, there is an area of red cliff erosion, as there is on the north point of the bay. The little island of Kozina and Kamičić Rock are 500 metres in front of the bay, while Saular Reef is by the north point, marked as a danger point by a yellow and black concrete block. You must manoeuvre round these obstacles if you want to reach the shelter of Sveti Andrija Bay. There is a 9th century church, dedicated to St. Andrew, right by the breakwater. Three cable lengths northeast of the entrance to the bay is the islet of Artina, joined to the shore by a submerged isthmus. There are buoys on both sides which you can use for mooring. This is a popular bathing spot, frequented by visitors from Biograd.
