Mošćenička Draga combines natural beaches with a long hiking trail, snorkeling opportunities, and a history shaped by its fishing port. The Trebišća–Perun Trail offers a day-long option with a specified distance; along the coast, you can choose from places including the Pod zvoni snorkeling area and Senjavac naturist beach.

Hiking and other activities

Set aside a full, long day for a hike on the Trebišća–Perun Trail: the route is 15 kilometers long, with an estimated duration of seven hours. The starting point is near Sveti Petar in Mošćenička Draga. Along the way, the trail passes through preserved hamlets in Potoška vala and reaches the 880-meter-high summit of Perun. Allow enough time for this hike and check conditions and access before setting out.

In the wider destination of Općina Mošćenička Draga, the historical and mythological Trebišća–Perun Trail conveys the religious beliefs of the first Slavic settlers in the Kvarner area. Alongside the hike, the trail’s historical and mythological interpretation is also a central theme.

Other options in Mošćenička Draga include woodland walks, hiking and running routes, kayaking to explore the coast, and cycling through the surrounding landscape. The options range from a clearly defined long hike to other ways of getting around on foot, by bike, or on the water.

Beaches and snorkeling

Mošćenička Draga has natural beaches. Another way to enjoy the water is the Pod zvoni snorkeling area: it stretches along the north side of the bay from the shallow areas below a semi-open cave to the headland. To reach the Pod zvoni snorkeling spot, sail south from Mošćenička Draga. Safe use depends on sea conditions, so check them before setting out.

A colony of the strictly protected orange cup coral (Astroides calycularus) is also found at Pod zvoni. Please do not touch the coral.

Another specific beach option is Senjavac: the naturist beach is just beyond St. Ivan Beach. Beach conditions and access may vary seasonally; check both before your visit.

Fishing history and local cuisine

The old town of Dražanski developed toward the end of the 19th century as a typical fishing settlement. It has a small harbor with fishing boats and smaller vessels. There is also a seasonal marina for tourist boats. Since the marina operates seasonally, check its availability before your trip.

Mošćenička Draga’s history is also linked to fishing: the town developed as a fishing port. Records mention a settlement at the harbor of Sv. Marina as early as 1436. The year refers to this settlement site mentioned in the records.

Draški škamp is considered a local specialty and is served fresh in fish restaurants. Since restaurant offerings can change, check whether the dish is available during your travel dates.
