CRIKVENICA, a town in the region of Vinodol in the Croatian Primorje, 37 km southeast of Rijeka. It is located in the vicinity of the confluence point of the Dubracina brook, whose valley connects the town with the interior part of Vinodol. Sand deposits form the Crikvenica beach.

 

 

 

Economy is based on farming, vegetable growing, livestock breeding, fishing and especially tourism. Crikvenica has a hundred year old tradition in tourism and is today one of the leading tourist centres of the Kvarner Gulf.
 
Crikvenica has retained its original character of a health resort until today and the well-organized medical institution Thalassotherapia is a renowned sanatorium (respiratory disorders and diseases, rheumatism). Numerous pavilions (of all categories), apartments, rooms, the coast with long and well arranged public beaches, sports events and entertainment programs follow a century-old tradition of tourism in this town. Particularly interesting are the beaches equipped with various entertainment and recreational opportunities for children, which make Crikvenica one of the most popular seaside resorts for families.

 

Offered are also many sports grounds and facilities (tennis, ball games) and the equipment for water sports (rowing, yachting, windsurfing). Mild climate provides good opportunities for sports training during winter months.
