Premantura is a picturesque town with 450 residents, located in Istria's far south, which was already settled during the Bronze Age. The remains of rustic villas are evidence of the ancient Romans' wise choice of Premantura as an ideal setting. The long, narrow peninsula of Kamenjak gives Premantura its most recognizable characteristic. This peninsula (9.5 km long and 1,5 km wide) stretches into the Adriatic Sea like a long arm. Kamenjak is encompassed by a 30 km coastline dotted with numerous coves and miniature beaches, and this primeval beauty is enriched with small islands which rise from the crystalline blue-green sea. In Premantura there are several stores, bank and souvenir shop. The restaurants have made Premantura famous as a place of rich tables set with fish and seafood specialities. A 34m high lighthouse Porer, stands not far from Kamenjak. Due to the strong winds blowing frequently in the late spring and early autumn, it offers excellent surfing and sailing opportunities
