3 landmarks Day trips: 2 24 restaurants 5 parking spots

Rabac is a small gem on the Istrian coast, once a modest fishing village that transformed during the 20th century into one of the most beloved seaside resorts on the Adriatic. Nestled in a sheltered cove, surrounded by pine trees and crystal-clear water, it draws visitors with its authentic Mediterranean atmosphere. The main attractions are its beautiful beaches with turquoise water and a lively promenade full of cafes and restaurants serving fresh seafood.

Teleferika — remains of a mining cable car

industrial heritage / viewpoint

Teleferika was a cable car opened in 1925, used to transport bauxite nine kilometres from the storage site near the village of Cere down to the port of Rabac, where two conveyor belts loaded it onto ships. After World War II the port ceased operations, the cable car was dismantled, and what remained were concrete pillars and a loading station above the cove. The trail leading to them offers a view of the entire Rabac area.

Church of Saint Andrew

church / history

The parish church of Saint Andrew, dating from the 15th century, is the oldest building in Rabac, from a time when the cove was a fishing settlement rather than a holiday resort. It is a single-nave church with a sacristy, and its facade features a bell-cote with a single bell. The parish was established in 1974, and the church was restored in 1984.

Rabac Coastal Promenade

promenade / waterfront

A well-maintained seaside promenade that follows the shore of Rabac bay, connecting the town center with the surrounding beaches and coves. The path is paved and mostly flat, and partly runs through the shade of a pine forest. Along the promenade, bathing areas, small coves and views of Kvarner and Cres alternate. The promenade is also a simple way to reach nearby beaches on foot, without stepping onto the main road.

💎 Day Trips
