Preluk Bay is known for wind (locally called Tramontana) that allows windsurfing.<\/p>\n
The rowing field in Omi\u0161alj, and more recently in Bakar, are natural bays where international rowing regattas are held.<\/p>\n
Recreational zones and the Rijeka promenades, which are being continuously renovated and expanded, are suitable for hikers.<\/p>\n
