With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Novi Vinodolski, 25 miles away, has to offer. Novi Vinodolski Beach, Frankopan Castle and Church of Saint Philip and Jacob alone justify the drive. Crikvenica is another great option. It’s 25 miles away and offers a range of fascinating things to see and do. Crikvenica Beach, Pecine Beach and Crikvenica Aquarium are just the start.
