description Skrivena Luka Overview
Skrivena Luka is a deeply recessed bay on the southern coast of Lastovo, Croatia. Its name means hidden bay, reflecting the fact that the inlet cannot be seen directly from the open sea, while its enclosed position provides shelter for boats and anchorages. The entrance is marked by Struga Lighthouse, built in 1839 on a cliff approximately 90 meters above sea level, and the bay is associated with swimming, boating, and coastal tourism.
