MALINSKA, a town, port and tourist centre in the north-western part of the island of Krk. Chief occupations are farming, fishing and tourism. Originally a small village in the region of Dubasnica, Malinska developed as a port at the beginning of the 19th century, when the export of wood was transferred from Porto to the cove of Malinska because of a better road connection for transportation of wood from the island's interior.

 

 

 

Once famous for the ships, the present Malinska is a tourist resort popular for its numerous shingle and sand beaches and rich vegetation. It started to develop at the beginning of the 20th century, after the Society for Beautification of the Town had been established in 1909, to attract weekend tourists from Opatija and Rijeka or tourists from Graz and Vienna.
 
Today many hotels of various categories are arranged along the forested coast, as well as villas, boarding houses, apartments, campsites, and one can swim in the swimming pools, maintained beaches and hidden indents. Walking along the sea or in the interior, organized fishing excursions or a game of boccia with the local population offer a possibility to experience the local atmosphere. Sports facilities include tennis courts, bowling grounds, miniature golf; horseback riding is also possible, as well as various water sports, particularly diving.
