Lopar - Island of Rab

Lopar, a nice resort 14 km away from the town of Rab, lies on the north-west coast of the island of Rab. This part of the island, in the past, has not only been settled but was also of great importance, as is evidenced in the locality of Zidine by the Liburnian buildings and the numerous hill graves. There are many bays in the area with approximately 22 sandy beaches on which you can sunbath or jump into the calm sea.The most famous beach is situated close to the hotel complex and the campsite "San Marino". It is more than 1,500 m long, and is known as the beach of Crnika or Paradise beach. Furthermore, Lopar is known for a phenomenon of nature: the underwater cave "Medova buza" is the home of the Mediterranean monk seal. It is interesting to mention that many international weddings are organized in Lopar.
