Triluke Bay is not a conventional port: it is the sheltered three-lobed bay at Zaglav on Dugi Otok, used by small luxury ships for tender landings or ship-marina days. Zaglav offers a 15th-century Franciscan church, two seasonal konobas and a working island harbour; nearby Sali adds a fuller waterfront. Telašćica Nature Park is the outstanding excursion, while Sakarun and Veli Rat are too distant for casual independent travel on a short call.

Triluke Bay has stories most visitors walk straight past.
Dugi Otok means 'Long Island' in Croatian.
The medieval name Tilagus survives in Telašćica's name.
Telašćica's cliffs rise toward 200m above the sea and descend roughly 90m below it.
The attraction is the bay itself. Zaglav and Sali make the easiest shore day; Telašćica is the best structured excursion. Northern Dugi Otok highlights such as Sakarun and Veli Rat require a dedicated long island tour.
