Go there and contact
Cape Kamenjak with wild beaches and coves with an ecological farm as well as several plant and animal species.
The tip of the cape is a nature park (400 ha). Although motor vehicles are not allowed, you can visit the park on foot or by bike. With your entrance ticket, you'll receive an orientation map and a rubbish bag, so you don't have to leave anything behind.
The limestone terrain, dominated by scrubland, garrigue and pinewood, is home to holm oaks and hundreds of other plant species, as well as a diverse fauna (butterflies, lizards, beetles, etc.). In the sea, you can sometimes see Mediterranean monk seals or bottlenose dolphins. In the center of the peninsula, an ecological farm grows olive trees without inputs, and raises animals such as Istrian sheep and the istriana cow, a rare native species in danger of extinction. But today, Cape Kamenjak is under heavy environmental pressure from tourism, especially in summer.
The dirt tracks of the Lower Kamenjak are ideal for mountain biking. The road named Selo leads to a limestone path that takes you to various points on the peninsula. The Kolombarice area is ideal for underwater exploration, but beware of strong currents, especially on the south side. The cliffs (Donji Kamenjak) are a popular natural diving platform, giving access to sea caves. The cape and coves of Premantura are famous for surfing, sea kayaking and sailing. Rt Kamenjak beach attracts many holidaymakers. Other wild coves and beaches to discover on the headland include Stupce and Munte.
