Klenovica is a welcoming destination located south of Novi Vinodolski, being one of the quietest settlements in the Kvarner Bay. The village is famous for its unique natural phenomena called 'vrulje', freshwater springs that gush directly from the depths of the sea. This infusion of freshwater makes the sea cooler and incredibly clear, attracting an abundance of fish and marine life. The symbol of the town is the 'tunera', a wooden observation tower once used by fishermen to detect schools of tuna. Today, Klenovica is celebrated for its gastronomic offerings, with local restaurants being renowned throughout the region for fresh fish and seafood. The atmosphere is one of total relaxation, far from the hustle and bustle of major tourist centers. The pebble beaches are well-maintained and offer spectacular views toward the island of Krk and Mount Velebit. The long promenade is handy for sunset walks, and the small harbor retains the old-world charm of Croatian fishing villages. Klenovica is the excellent choice for tourists who appreciate pure nature, good food, and the tranquility of an authentic seaside settlement.
