Njivice, originally a small fishing village on the northwestern side of Krk Island, has developed into one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the Kvarner region. The town is situated in the protected Beli Kamik bay and is known for its crystal-clear waters and dense oak forests that reach down to the shore. The beaches in Njivice are mostly pebble or paved, with Jadran Beach holding the Blue Flag award for cleanliness. Along the Riva (promenade), visitors will find numerous restaurants serving local specialties like Krk sheep cheese, lamb, and the famous Šurlice pasta. For active travelers, Njivice features excellent conditions for windsurfing, diving, and tennis. A shaded coastal path connects Njivice with the nearby town of Malinska, first-rate for long evening walks.
