Rt Kamenjak, located on the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula near the village of Premantura, is one of the most beautiful and ecologically important natural areas in Croatia. This protected cape stretches over a length of 9.5 kilometers and is surrounded by the Adriatic Sea on three sides. What makes Kamenjak truly special is its untouched wilderness.

 

Around 90 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, dinosaurs roamed the region that is now Kamenjak. Evidence of their presence is etched into the limestone cliffs of the cape, where fossilized footprints can still be seen today. These footprints, left by different species of dinosaurs, are one of the peninsula's special features.

 

Kamenjak is home to an impressive variety of flora and fauna. Over 550 plant species thrive in this area, including numerous orchid species, some of which are only found in Istria. The cape’s ecosystem is also a paradise for wildlife, especially bird species such as kestrels and falcons that nest in the cliffs. The Mediterranean forests with their wild herbs such as sage and thyme fill the air with their scent and create an idyllic atmosphere.

 

The waters around Kamenjak are exceptionally clear and offer excellent visibility for snorkeling. The underwater world is teeming with marine life, including various species of fish, sea urchins and octopuses. The cape’s rugged coastline is lined with steep cliffs, and several spots, like Kolombarica Bay, offer thrilling jumps into the deep blue sea below.
