Sandy and pebble beaches extend along the coastline and there are several restaurants in this place of authentic coastal atmosphere. Klenovica is ideal for sports fishing and if you are coming by boat it can be anchored in the local harbor. Apart from the central beach, there are fabulous beaches in the Zrnovnica and Povile bays, accessible by car, boat and on foot.

Main characteristics of Klenovica are the sources of fresh-water that gush out in the sea, rendering the water a couple of degrees colder than in other places - very pleasing during the hot summer days. The continuous mix of cold water that comes down from the mountain and of the sea water is extremely favorable to sea flora and fauna - sometimes it's possible to see shoals of dolphins!
