Blue Flag
Rabac is called a “Pearl of Kvarner Bay” due to its white pebble beaches, rich mediterranean vegetation and crystal-clear, clean and translucent sea water.
No wonder Rabac was awarded the “Blue Flag” eco-mark in 2002.
The “Blue Flag” is an international ecological award, a programme of environmental awareness and eduction and coastal protection run by the international foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) in Europe and other parts of the world. It aims at making beaches better and safer for swimming, while, at the same time, protecting their natural environment.

- clean bathing water which is verified by sample measurements every fortnight during the bathing season
