Vinogradišće Bay, nestled on the southern shore of Sveti Klement, the largest of the Pakleni Islands, is a jewel in the Adriatic. Often referred to as Palmižana, this picturesque bay has evolved from a tranquil winter idyll to a vibrant summer destination. Its fame began in 1906 when Professor Eugen Meneghello opened his villa to tourists, establishing a legacy of high-quality tourism. The bay is well-sheltered from most winds, except those from the south, making it a safe anchorage. The seabed is sandy, leading to small beaches that become quite crowded during peak season. Vinogradišće boasts a variety of restaurants and bars, offering everything from rustic Dalmatian fare to innovative culinary creations. Some establishments have gained international recognition, attracting celebrities and discerning travelers alike. Beyond the culinary delights, Vinogradišće offers opportunities for exploration. A path leads through a botanical garden to the ACI Marina Palmižana on the island's north side, showcasing plants over a century old. The bay is also a convenient base for discovering other coves and beaches on the Pakleni Islands, either by boat or on foot.
