Why visit Crikvenica Seaside Promenade
Crikvenica is Kvarner's easy-going family resort — 8 km of connected seafront promenade linking the town with Selce and Dramalj, sandy and pebbled beaches, calm waters, and enough gelato stands to keep any child happy. The town grew from a 15th-century Pauline monastery whose cloister is still the atmospheric heart of the old centre.

History
Crikvenica is Kvarner's easy-going family resort — 8 km of connected seafront promenade linking the town with Selce and Dramalj, sandy and pebbled beaches, calm waters, and enough gelato stands to keep any child happy. The town grew from a 15th-century Pauline monastery whose cloister is still the atmospheric heart of the old centre. Boat trips head to the tiny island of Sveti Marko for very quiet swimming.
“Crikvenica officially opened its first bathing beach in 1888, making it one of the earliest formal 'tourist' towns on the entire eastern Adriatic.”
