Rajska cesta (Malinska): Hiking & swimming in paradise
The Paradise Path (Rajska cesta) is far more than just a beach. It’s a promenade about two kilometres long that leads from the centre of Malinska towards Njivice.
Along this path there are countless small, hidden bays of pebbles and rock, lined by dense pine forests. It’s the perfect place for anyone looking for real peace and wanting to enjoy the sea in its most original form.
Beach type
A wonderful interplay of small pebble coves, natural rock plateaus and hidden entry points into the sea.
Shade & sunbeds
Perfect shade! The entire path is shaded by tall pines. There are no sunbeds here – you use your own towel on rocks or pebbles.
Food & drink
At the start of the path there’s the cosy Paradajs Beach Bar for drinks and snacks. Further along the path there are no more kiosks!
Parking
Park in the centre of Malinska or near Haludovo bay. The fee in the adjacent zones is approx. €1.50 to €2.00 per hour.
Facilities & details
- Accessibility: The path itself is car-free and can only be used on foot or by bike. It starts at the end of the well-known Haludovo bay in Malinska.
- Child-friendliness: 3/10 points. The path is great for walking, but due to the rocky and partly uneven natural entry points into the sea, this area is not really safe for small children to swim.
- Sanitary facilities: Public toilets are available at the start of the path (near the bar). There’s also a great offer of massages right by the sea.
- Dogs: The Paradise Path is dog-friendly. Dogs are tolerated without any problem on the many small, secluded natural stretches.
- Water quality & snorkelling: Outstanding. As the bay is extremely natural, the water is crystal clear. The rocky underwater world is also very rich in fish and therefore excellent for snorkelling.
- Dangers: Wear sturdy footwear! Both for the walk and for getting in over the stones. Sea urchins are also more common on the rocks. Water shoes are a must!
Our insider tip for the Paradise Path
Walk at least 15 to 20 minutes along the path before choosing one of the bays. The simple rule: the further you get from Malinska, the more secluded and “paradisiacal” the small rocky coves become. The intense scent of the pines combined with the salt in the air is a real experience for the senses here.
