 Medulin
Nature park "Rt Kamenjak" (Cape
Rocky ground)
  Kamenjak
is the most southern end of Istrian peninsula located near
Medulin popular tourist resort, and Banjole and Premantura
villages. Kamenjak is long, narrow peninsula, about 9.5
km long and as wide as 1.5 km. It has been proclaimed as
nature park and it is under special protection. The entrance
is charged a few Kunas.
The entire coastline of the cape is 30 km long dotted with
numerous inlets, coves miniature beaches and small islands.
There are many dirt roads and paths all over the peninsula
leading to the most hidden areas.
Kamenjak is especially attractive for diving enthusiasts
because of its fascinating underwater world. Windsurfers
also discovered this place and set their base in Premantura.
Needles to say all those who enjoy trekking and mountain-biking
will also enjoy this place. Waters around Kamenjak are especially
rich with fish which makes it a wonderful place for sport
fishing, especially in Albanez cove, near far south end
of the peninsula. For those interested in "Robinson Crusoe"
style holiday, a "get away from stress holiday", operating
lighthouses are available as vacation rentals.
As most of the roads on the cape are rough dirt roads, it
is not recommended to drive there with sport cars. Stay
on the main roads and walk down the coast.
 Lots
of people come over here for sunbathing and swimming during
the summer. Rocky beaches absolutely untouched with cliffs
vertically on the sea in one side and pebbles on the other
side. Clear clean water and quiet coves attract all those
seeking for some peace and privacy, loneliness and skinny
dipping. There are some pebbly beaches suitable for children,
but mostly it is rocky coastline with flat rocks which are
so inviting for sunning and daydreaming.
In southern parts of the cape swimmers have to be careful
because of strong sea currents, which can drive away careless
swimmers far from the coast. Caution is especially needed
during high/low tide change.
 At
the southwest end of the cape, there is an interesting Safari
Bar, Robinson style place, offering refreshments and snacks.
Children will especially enjoy it here because of interesting
and unusual installations. Adventure guaranteed. Bar is
also often visited by windsurfers who find this southern
end of the cape very attractive, especially suitable for
more experienced surfers.
