Šilo is a village in the north-east of the island of Krk, Croatia, population 384 (census 2011). It is one of the tourist centers of the Dobrinj municipality.

It is located in a well-sheltered lagoon called Stipanja, which is naturally enclosed by a cape called Punta Šilo. It is located across from Crikvenica, which is a tourist town on the Croatian coast. Šilo is separated from it by the Vinodolski Channel, which is only 2.5 nmi (4.6 km) wide.

Šilo is connected to the rest of the island of Krk by a regional road. It is 5 kilometers away from the center of its municipality, Dobrinj. It is also 20 kilometers far from Krk Bridge; 19.1 km from the main city of the island, Krk; 13.6 km from Vrbnik, another settlement on Krk; and 47.7 km from Rijeka, which is the most important Croatian harbor and the third largest city in the country.

Stipanja bay is well protected from eastern and southern winds by a narrow and low peninsula at the end of which cape Punta Šilo is located. At the end of this cape there is a lighthouse which emits a light beam: B BI 3s, whose maximum range is 7 nautical miles (13 km).

Šilo is the largest village in the municipality of Dobrinj, and it has the longest tourist tradition. It has numerous beautiful, sunny, and preserved pebble beaches and coves. Above Šilo there is a lovely old settlement called Polje, which, alongside of modern houses, has also preserved the traditional rural way of building as well as a traditional way of life.
