The hamlet of Škarda that consists of 16 dwellings[2] was completely depopulated by the 1990s.[3]
During the Croatian War of Independence, on 10 September 1991, members of a naval special unit, after landing from a motorboat and a sailboat, the Maša and the Nirvana, disabled the Yugoslav Mirna-class patrol boat Biokovo with a Malyutka antitank missile fired from a cove at Škarda island.[4][5]
