Viganj (lit. 'forge, bellows'[3][4]) is a village located in the west of the Pelješac peninsula in southern Dalmatia, Croatia, by the Adriatic Sea, between Nakovana and Kućište.
Because the Maestral wind is common in summer time, Viganj is a tourist resort known for its windsurfing opportunities.[5] Windsurfing competitions are regularly held in Viganj.[6][7][8]
A Dominican convent in the village dates to 1671.[9]
