With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Novi Vinodolski, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Novi Vinodolski Beach, Frankopan Castle and Church of Saint Philip and Jacob. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Rab Old Town, 40 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Paradise Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Sahara Beach and Pudarica Beach.)
