Getting there

Car

If you are driving from Rijeka, take the A7 motorway towards Opatija. Continue on the A7 until you reach the exit for Baška (approximately 1 hour). Follow the signs towards Baška. Once you arrive in Baška, continue on the main road until you reach Stara Baška. From Stara Baška, follow the signs leading to Oprna Bay. There is a small parking area near the beach, which may have a nominal fee (around 10-20 HRK for a few hours).

Bus

You can take a bus from Rijeka to Baška. Buses run regularly throughout the day (check the local bus schedule for exact timings). The journey takes around 1.5 hours. Once you arrive in Baška, you can either walk or take a taxi to Stara Baška, which is about 5 km away. The walk is scenic and takes approximately 1 hour. Taxis are available and cost around 50-70 HRK.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi directly from Rijeka or any other town in Kvarner to Oprna Bay. This option is more expensive, approximately 600-800 HRK from Rijeka, but it offers the convenience of door-to-door service.
