Cape Peneda (Brijuni)

Cape Peneda is on the south-eastern side of Veli Brijun inside Brijuni National Park. Walls and tunnels between about 4 and 35 m are covered in marine life, making it suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced divers. As a national park site it can only be dived with an authorised, organised dive group.
