Beaches and coastal features in Čižići

Sulinj I and II and Bunorica are pebble beaches; Vela Riva is a concrete beach. Sulinj I and II can be reached by road, by sea, or on foot. Vela Riva has parking. This means visitors can find different types of beaches and specific points of reference for their visit. Conditions and facilities at Sulinj I and II may change; check conditions before your visit.

There is also a shallow, muddy shore in the direction of Čižići and Klimno. It was formed by sediment deposits over thousands of years and the fragmentation of rock and soil particles. This coastal feature differs from the pebble and concrete beaches mentioned above: it adds a shallow mudflat area to the range of beach types and also tells the story of the landscape’s long-term change.

Camino Krk and other route connections

The fifth stage of Camino Krk begins in Čižići. It passes through Soline towards Dobrinj and Sveti Vid Dobrinjski and ends in Vrbnik. For trip planning, this sequence provides a clear point of reference: Čižići is the starting point of the stage, while its route takes in several named places.

A different type of route connection featured in the third edition of Swim the Wave in 2026: it began at the waterfront in Klimno and ended at the waterfront in Čižići. This is a specific event route, not an indication of future dates or a regular schedule. If you are interested in a possible future edition, check the date and details in advance.

The remains of the Church of Saint Peter are located at the Sv. Petar site beside Čižići. A path from the site leads to the remains of the abandoned village of Šugare, which was deserted in the 19th century. This route connection therefore links the church site with another historic place.

Culture in the wider destination of Općina Dobrinj

The wider destination of Općina Dobrinj contains several distinct cultural and historical points of interest. In Dobrinj, the altarpiece of the Coronation of Mary in the parish church has been declared a cultural monument. The Parish Church of Saint Stephen is one of the oldest parish churches and is mentioned as early as 1100 in a Glagolitic document. Its sacred collection includes liturgical objects, paintings, and sculptures from the 14th to the 19th century.

The Church of the Holy Trinity in Dobrinj is used as an exhibition space for artefacts from the Dobrinj area. It is also home to the Maskeron, an impressive sculpture of a man’s head, probably created by a local folk artist in 1738. In Klimno, the Church of Saint Clement contains a protected wooden Renaissance polyptych depicting the Mother of God, the Child, and the saints.

Other historical points of interest are in Soline and Gabonjin: the Bay of Saint Peter in Soline is mentioned in Glagolitic documents from 1379 and 1465. Above Soline, the medieval Church of Saint Philip and James stands on a small, secluded hill. The Church of Saint Peter on the hill in Gabonjin is considered the most representative religious building in the area.
