Šotovento is a municipality in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County on the island of Krk in western Croatia.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Franciscan Third Order Regular of Saint Francis of Penance built a monastery and several houses.

The boundary between Šotovento and the rest of Krk begins at the bay of Cavlenet in the northwest and passes the Klobučac and Vrhura mountains, the border with Dubašnica in the north.

[1] When Ivan VII Frankapan (who owned the island of Krk) decided to expand his holdings during the 15th century to increase tax revenue, Vlachs had settled in Dubasnica, Šotovento and northern Dobrinj.

Several large oaks grow near Cavlent Bay; the largest is over 400 years old and 5.4 metres (18 ft) in diameter.
