With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Opatija, 20 miles away, has to offer. Slatina Beach, Lido Beach and Medveja Beach alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Situated 20 miles away, Crikvenica is another popular tourist destination. If you visit, make sure you check out Crikvenica Beach, Pecine Beach and Crikvenica Aquarium.
