Favored by the Mediterranean climate, Viganj has long and hot dry summers with an average temperature of 25 °C/ 77 °F . The beach is located in the narrowest part of the channel, between Peljesac and Korcula and as the wind accelerates twice as fast as it does in the Adriatic Sea, the beach has become a favorite spot for kite-surfing for both local and foreign visitors.
