Dinosaur footprints – literally!

These 20–40 cm wide prints are clearly visible in the rocks along the shoreline, and a walking path will lead you right to them. It’s an amazing adventure for kids and curious minds – a perfect blend of fun and learning.

A glimpse into Kamenjak’s military past
Few visitors know that Kamenjak holds remains of former military structures, including bunkers and cannon positions. Throughout history, Kamenjak was of strategic importance, especially in the 20th century when it was used by various armies. Today, these sites are fascinating to explore and offer breathtaking views.

The name and the land
The name “Kamenjak” comes from the word kamen (stone) – a fitting name for this rugged, rocky landscape. In the past, the area was sparsely inhabited due to its wild terrain, and that very feature is what makes it special today: peace, silence, and authenticity.
