Njivice

A small west-facing harbour village with a Michelin-selected seafront restaurant, the north end of the Paradise Path and a bird lake in the oak woods behind.

Open this guide on The Krk Map

Njivice is a family resort of campsites and a harbour promenade, and on its own it isn't a reason to cross the island. What is worth the drive is dinner at 7 Seas by Matija Bogdan (Michelin-selected in 2026, creative, on the beach). The harbour faces west, so the evening walk and dinner come with the sunset. Pair it with the north end of the Paradise Path or, in spring and autumn, the quiet Lake Jezero loop. It suits foodie couples and families who want an easy town beach.

When to come: 7 Seas and beach bars in season. Lake Jezero is best in the spring and autumn migration. Campsite resort feel in July–August.

What to do

A beach day on the 7 Seas loungers, then stay for dinner

Chef Matija Bogdan's seafront restaurant on Veya beach, in the Michelin Guide in 2026. Lunch is deliberately simple; dinner is colourful and vegetable-forward, using regional land and sea produce, with cocktails too.

Where
Primorska cesta 37, by the Veya Hotel (the former Hotel Jadran) at the north end of the harbour.
When
Loungers from the morning; sunset dinner. In season it is open daily 09:00–22:00 (2026).
Time
A day, or a 2.5-hour dinner
How
Book dinner by phone (+385 51 356 552).

Tip: Take the wine pairing at dinner. With children, the shallow Jadran beach next door has fine shingle in the shallows.

Walk the Paradise Path south from Njivice to a cove, or all the way to the Malinska bar

The Njivice end of the pine-shaded shore path to Malinska, about 5 km long. It passes Rosulje, a small gravel cove with tree shade, and the Kijac district with its official dog beach and a naturist beach, then dozens of rock coves before Bar Paradajz at the Malinska end.

Where
Follow the shore south from the Njivice town beach towards Kijac (Rosulje fitness station on Šetalište Antuna Koste).
When
Mornings or after 17:00 in summer; shaded throughout.
Time
1–3 hours with swims
How
Flat promenade; park in Njivice. Malinska and back is about 10 km.

Tip: For a sunset, time it so you finish back on the Njivice harbour promenade: it faces west.

The Lake Jezero loop for birds in spring and autumn

An easy 11.8 km loop with 207 m of climbing from the Njivice campsite into Turkey-oak and downy-oak woods and pasture around Jezero, the largest freshwater habitat on Krk. It is a valuable reserve for wetland and migrating birds, with several orchid species near the shore.

Where
Start at the Njivice campsite, cross the main island road and follow the gravel road past the equestrian centre.
When
Spring and autumn mornings; bring binoculars.
Time
3–4 hours
How
Asphalt, gravel and forest paths; rated easy.

Tip: The Equestrian Club Njivice and the therapeutic riding centre 'Moj prijatelj' are on the route, with trail rides and children's lessons; phone ahead to book.

The harbour promenade at sunset, with the church and an ice cream

Njivice's Ribarska obala runs from the parish church to the Veya Hotel (the former Hotel Jadran), with the harbour facing west. The 1905 church belongs to the youngest parish on Krk and displays an 11th–12th-century stone slab carved with Croatian interlace.

Where
Ribarska obala, from the church of the Nativity of the Virgin to Hotel Jadran.
When
From an hour before sunset.
Time
45 min
How
Park in the paid lots behind the harbour.

Tip: Combine with dinner at 7 Seas: walk the promenade first, then eat.

For small children: the shallow Jadran beach or the town beach below the church

Jadran beach by Hotel Jadran has fine shingle in the shallows and suits children, older guests and non-swimmers. The town beach Pod Crikvun (Miramare), below the church, has shingle, concrete and rock sections, pine shade and, in summer, an aquapark and trampolines in the sea.

Where
Jadran: by Hotel Jadran, north end of Ribarska obala. Pod Crikvun: below the parish church.
When
Morning, before the campsite crowds arrive.
Time
2–3 hours
How
Walk along the harbour; loungers for hire.

Tip: Then lunch or dinner at 7 Seas next door to Jadran.

North-west coast: sea sunsets and easy swimming, with a view of the oil terminal

The Malinska and Njivice coast faces west, so the sun sets over the sea, the water is easy to get into and there are plenty of services. Looking north you see the Omišalj oil terminal on Krk and the refinery across the water on the mainland.

When
Evenings

Tip: For a sunset swim, pick the west coast; for open-sea views, the south (Stara Baška, Baška).

Njivice seafront path: 2 km of level, shaded walk with benches and a playground

A level, shaded asphalt path of about 2 km runs along the sea with woods on one side, benches and a playground in the shade, out to the Kijac point at the end of Njivice.

When
Any time; good with a pram

Tip: An easy walk for families.

A half day here

  1. 16:00: park in Njivice and walk the Paradise Path south past Rosulje to the first quiet cove; swim.
  2. 18:30: back on the harbour promenade for the sunset.
