It has the best bike centre in Istria (or even Croatia) with many tours, trails, shops, services and also a specialized bike park. With many bays within a walking distance, you can find very good swimming and diving spots. P.S. Try and find the English sunken ship ”Luna” from 1914.
On the hill above Rabac you can see the medieval town of Labin, with rich cultural and architectural heritage.
