Fodor's Expert Review Lungomare

If you enjoy walking by the sea, set off along the magnificent paved waterfront Lungomare. Built in 1889, this 12-km (7½-mile) path leads from the fishing village of Volosko through Opatija—passing in front of old hotels, parks, and gardens and around yacht basins—all the way past the villages of Ičići and Ika to Lovran. In the middle you'll find the popular town beach that fronts the center of Opatija. Close to many cafés, ice cream shops, and other essentials, the beach also has a couple of protected sections of water for safe swimming.
