The cove is exposed to north winds; smaller yachts may dock along the pier in the cove of Supetra; larger yachts dock in the middle of the cove.

This modern tourist village is during season connected to Split a few times a day. The ferry lands twice a week and it is connected to other parts of the island by bus and taxi lines.
