Pet friendly apartments in the Kvarner region!

And how to prepare for a vacation with us with your furry friends

Crikvenica Riviera: Where Pets Are VIPs!

On the beautiful Crikvenica Riviera, pets are more than welcome — they’re the real stars of the show! Locals adore them and there are many Pet friendly apartments in town, and that love led to the creation of a dedicated dog beach located right in the heart of Crikvenica.

Welcome to Podvorska Dog Beach

Opened in July 2010, Podvorska Beach quickly became known as the best dog beach in Croatia — and for good reason. Over the years, it’s evolved into a fully equipped pet paradise, with features like:

• A dog-only shower

• A play area and agility course

• Free entrance

• Clearly posted beach rules for a safe, respectful environment

Podvorska has won numerous awards, but more importantly, it has captured the hearts of pet owners and their furry friends from around the world. It’s even gained global fame, often featured in travel blogs and pet-friendly destination guides.

Monty’s Dog Beach & Bar: Cheers, Pup!

After a swim, treat your four-legged companion to a unique experience at Monty’s Dog Beach & Bar, located right on the beach. As the first bar for dogs in Croatia.

Worry-Free Travel for You and Your Pet

If your pet needs a vet’s advice while on vacation, no worries — the Crikvenica Riviera has top-notch veterinary services nearby. Plus, many local accommodations proudly carry the pet-friendly label, making it easy to find a home-away-from-home for both of you.

In fact, every September, the town hosts a special event called Crikvenica 4 Pets, celebrating pets with activities, workshops, and community fun.

 Pet-Friendly Walks & Nature Escapes

 Come See Why Tails Wag Here

For years, happy pups from all over the world have been “barking” about Crikvenica — and once you arrive, you’ll see why. From the friendly locals and scenic pet-approved beaches to the unique experiences like Monty’s Dog Bar, this region is a haven for animal lovers.
