Viganj, Coastal settlement in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia.

Located eight kilometers west of Orebić, Viganj stretches along the narrowest section of the Pelješac Channel, featuring traditional stone architecture and Mediterranean beaches.

The settlement developed as a maritime center where local residents engaged in fishing and shipbuilding activities throughout the Pelješac Channel's trading routes.

The former Dominican monastery Kuvenat now functions as the village's cultural center, preserving local heritage through exhibitions and community gatherings.

Multiple windsurfing schools provide equipment rentals and offer comprehensive training programs that enable beginners to master basic techniques within ten hours.

The Pelješac Channel's narrow passage creates the strongest winds on the Adriatic coast, making Viganj a center for international windsurfing competitions.
