The Kalifront Peninsula

THE BAYS OF KALIFRONT ARE SITUATED IN THE SETTING OF THE MOST PRESERVED NATURAL LANDSCAPE OF THE ISLAND AND ARE AMONG THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES ON THE ADRIATIC COAST

One of the most beautiful parts not only of the Island of Rab, but of the Adriatic coast as well, is the wooded Kalifront Peninsula. It is well-known for its indented shore with a number of beautiful secluded bays and coves surrounded by pine and oak forests and a narrow strip of the white rocky shore. There are beautiful sandy beaches with a warm shallow sea at the end of each bay. Therefore, it is not surprising that some of the most beautiful beaches are located here. Most of them are situated away from urban centres, in an uninhabited and protected area and represent a treasured asset of the Island.

THE KALIFRONT FORESTS STRETCH ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE SEA AND THE BAYS ARE SUITABLE FOR A LONGER STAY, BATHING AND SPENDING A PLEASANT TIME OF LEISURE BY THE SEA

The Suha punta holiday resort (built after World War II), located in between Matovica and Jelenovica bays, is intended for the bathers of Suha punta and can be reached by car, as well as by taxi boats arriving from the Port of Rab. We can include the Bay of Gožinka with its sandy beaches and a restaurant. Heading towards the northwestern promontory of the Peninsula (the Kalifront Promontory), you will reach the outermost bays, including Čifnata Bay and Kristofor Bay (somewhat deeper and the most popular among the yachtsmen), which are also less crowded with tourists.

“LA CÔTE D’EMERAUDE” - THE BEAUTY OF THE KALIFRONT SHORE AND THE ENCHANTING EMERALD COLOUR OF THE SEA HAVE BEEN WELL-KNOWN FOR YEARS, AS WELL AS THE AMAZING BLEND OF GREENERY AND THE SEA

It is only then that you will be able to relax and enjoy all the beauty of this part of Rab where the crystal-clear deep blue of the sea suddenly turns to emerald green and turquoise blue in some places (The Bay of Valsika). If you wish to become one with this natural blend of forests and the sea and to get a unique experience of swimming in the bays of the northwestern shore of the Island of Rab, this is a perfect place for you.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BAYS ARE WORTH VISITING BY BOAT

The bays of Kalifront are the most easily and frequently accessed by boat, although you can reach them also by road, that is, by bike using a forest road, to be more precise. You can leave your car in the proximity of the Suha punta holiday resort and walk toward one of the beaches nearby.
