Paradise Path coves, Malinska-Njivice (Rajska cesta)

A path of about 5 km from the 1930s through pine forest along the shore from the old Haludovo hotel in Malinska to Njivice, with dozens of small rocky coves in real tree shade and a naturist section on the way; dogs are welcome. A strong choice if you want shade and no crowds. The pin marks the naturist (FKK) section halfway along.

Our tips

• Start at Bar Paradajz, about 50 m from the paid car park by the old Haludovo hotel, and walk until you find an empty cove.
• The coves are natural rock: water shoes and a mat help.
• Bikes are allowed but must take a higher detour halfway.
• Pack water and food: apart from the bar at the start, there is nothing to buy along the path.
• With a dog, use the dog beaches at either end: Ribarsko selo at the Malinska end, and a small pine-shaded one near Kijac at the Njivice end.
• Parking at the Malinska start is paid in high season and usually free outside it.

Good to know

• Rocky entries.
• The Omišalj oil terminal is in view towards Njivice.
• The naturist stretch is informal: the path itself is a public promenade.
