It is situated along the island of Kornati, separated from it by Žutski channel.
This site is a particularly important habitat of dolphins. Sit Island and adjacent islets are the smallest among the group of Kornati islands and closest to the land.
From the island of Pasman they are separated by Srednji Channel, and from the island of Žut, with Sitsko-Žutski channel with many scattered shoals and reefs.
