Njivice

Njivice is a coastal village stretching along the northwestern shore of Krk island at sea level. The settlement has a linear layout with direct beach access, where houses spread along the waterfront and extend slightly inland.

Records first mention the village in 1474 through a donation deed from Count Ivan Frankopan. The settlement developed as a fishing community for centuries before transitioning to tourism in the modern era.

The settlement shifted from fishing traditions to tourism over generations. The connection to the sea remains visible in how locals and visitors use the waterfront and beaches today.

The village is accessible via state road D102, which connects it to other towns on Krk island. The flat terrain around the settlement makes walking easy, and most facilities are reachable on foot from the main areas.

The village gained much of its modern residential layout through the addition of the Kijac housing estate during the 1980s, which expanded the area northeastward. This growth shows how the place adapted to tourism while maintaining its seaside character.
