Cesarica

Cesarica is a coastal settlement in Lika-Senj County that spreads along the Adriatic shore with several beaches and small coves. The village has holiday homes and apartments scattered along the waterfront, with forested hills rising behind.

The settlement grew over centuries as a port for fishermen and traders along established maritime routes connecting Northern Dalmatia with the wider Adriatic. Its location on the coast made it a natural stopping point for vessels moving goods and people through the region.

Residents preserve traditional fishing practices and maritime customs, regularly gathering for community events that celebrate local seafood preparation methods.

Visitors reach this settlement via the coastal road from Karlobag, which is straightforward to navigate. Access to the different beach sections is easiest on foot from the residential areas along the bay.

What appears as a single settlement is actually four separate beach areas sharing the same name. Each area - Cesarica, Saint Helena, Trodražica North, and Oleander - attracts different types of visitors, making the place more varied than first appears.
