Stinica, Coastal settlement in Lika-Senj County, Croatia.
Stinica extends along two distinct bays, Mala Stinica and Vela Stinica, with a 150-meter-long pier positioned at the former sawmill location.
The settlement occupies the site of ancient Ortopla, which contains remnants of a medieval fortress and building foundations until its destruction in the 13th century.
Local musicians perform traditional Dalmatian songs during summer evenings at the waterfront, maintaining regional musical traditions in this coastal community.
Since July 2012, Stinica operates as the main ferry terminal connecting mainland Croatia with Rab Island, replacing the previous departure point at Jablanac.
The bay of Zavratnica, located south of Stinica, features underwater remnants of German military vessels from World War II at a depth of 20 meters.
