16. July 2026 admin 3 min read

Nestled on the beautiful Crikvenica Riviera, Jadranovo is a charming coastal destination that perfectly combines crystal-clear Adriatic waters, peaceful beaches, Mediterranean nature, and authentic local traditions. While many visitors come here for a relaxing seaside holiday, those who visit in July have the opportunity to experience one of the area’s most beloved summer events – Jakovarska Vesla.

Jakovarska Vesla (The paddles of St. Jacob) – A Celebration of Tradition and Community

Every summer, Jadranovo comes alive with the excitement of Jakovarska Vesla, a traditional rowing competition that has become one of the most recognizable events on the Crikvenica Riviera. Teams of men, women, children, locals, and visitors compete in traditional wooden boats, rowing from Tunera to Grabrova Bay and back while spectators cheer them on from the shore. The rhythmic beat of drums, friendly competition, and lively atmosphere make this event a unique experience for all generations. After the race, the celebration continues with a traditional fishermen’s feast, local gastronomy, music, and dancing, creating a true taste of the Adriatic lifestyle.
