Šilo, Coastal settlement in Dobrinj, Croatia.

Situated in Stipanja Bay on Krk Island, Šilo extends along the northeastern coastline with direct views across the Vinodol Channel to Crikvenica.

The settlement gained significance when the Krk Skydiving Society established a regular steamboat connection between Šilo, Vrbnik, and Crikvenica in 1905.

The nearby village of Polje maintains traditional Croatian architecture and rural customs while integrating with modern residential developments.

The settlement contains multiple tourist facilities including tennis courts, medical services, cafes, tourist agencies, and a post office at 5 kilometers from Dobrinj.

A lighthouse at Punta Šilo peninsula projects light beams reaching 7 nautical miles across the waters, protecting vessels from eastern and southern winds.
