The nearest town is Neum.

It lies in Bay of Mali Ston.

Also known as Malo selo.

The bay opens towards the east-north-east (71°).

Shelter by wind direction

Good shelter in south, south-west, west and north-west wind.

Partial shelter in north, north-east (bora), east and south-east (jugo) wind.

Swell can come in from north-east to north-east (44°–48°).

Swell can come in from east-south-east to east-south-east (116°–120°).

Shelter is estimated from open water and swell, not from wind strength: a strong wind can still gust over the land.

Here, shelter depends on tonight's wind. Seadromy reads the forecast and tells you before you leave.

Satellite imagery shows light, sandy patches around the anchoring spot.

Approach through a channel or a harbour entrance: routes end about 3.3 NM off, then continue at reduced speed.

Hodilje lies in the protected area Malostonski zaljev: check its rules (anchoring, speed, buoys) before you arrive.

Road within 400 m: busy in the afternoon.

Almost no buildings ashore (2 within 600 m).

A good gateway to visit the island.
