Premantura / Kamenjak (Stupice)

A spot at the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula, inside the Cape Kamenjak Nature Park just south of Premantura village and Pula. The protected park (designated 1996) covers more than 30km of coastline with numerous bays, endemic plants and animals, giving the spot a wild, undeveloped feel. Kite Center Premantura operates boat-based lessons here, and the area is known within the kite community for strong hydrofoiling conditions.
