The area contains dinosaur footprints preserved in limestone rocks, specifically near the tip of the peninsula.
Kamenjak is one of the few places in the Mediterranean where the Mediterranean monk seal has been historically sighted.
The site features a specific type of habitat known as the 'makiya' scrubland, which is highly resistant to salt spray.
The sea current around the cape is part of a unique circulatory system that keeps the water exceptionally clear compared to the rest of the Adriatic.
Cape Kamenjak is a protected landscape located at the southernmost tip of the Istrian peninsula. The coastline is defined by 30 kilometers of jagged limestone cliffs and secluded pebble coves. The area is home to the Kolombarica cave, a significant sea grotto popular for cliff jumping and snorkeling. The marine ecosystem is protected as a special botanical reserve, hosting over 500 species of flora, including endangered orchids. The water depth around the cliffs ranges from shallow reefs to significant drop-offs suitable for freediving. Due to its geography, the site is exposed to strong winds, particularly the 'bura', which influences local maritime conditions.
The elevated plateau above the Kolombarica cave provides a panoramic view of the cliffs and the Porer lighthouse in the distance.
Wear sturdy water shoes with rubber soles, as the limestone cliffs are sharp and slippery when wet.
Bring a waterproof dry bag for your belongings, as there are no secure storage lockers on the cliffs.
Carry your own drinking water and snacks, as facilities are sparse and distant from the main jumping spots.

The park is accessible year-round, though the entrance booth for motor vehicles operates primarily from spring through autumn.
Respect the 'leave no trace' policy by removing all trash; cliff jumping is done at your own risk; respect the protected status of the flora by remaining on marked paths.
