LIM BAY KAYAK TOUR

Half-day trip suitable for family, romantic couples or team building.

LIM BAY

Lim Bay also, popularly called Fjord, is located on the west coast of Istria, near Vrsar, and it is a karst valley almost 13 kilometers long, filled with the sea. Its width gradually decreases from the entrance to the end, but the fjord extends deeper into the interior of the Istrian peninsula, forming the Lim valley (Limska Draga) that reaches all the way to Pazin. The total length of Lim Bay and Draga is 35 kilometers. Since 1964 the geomorphological – hydrogeological site has been protected by law as a significant landscape, and since 1980 it has been declared a special marine reserve.

The valuable feature of the Lim Bay is the brackish water that is created due to the mixture of underground wells of sweet water and sea water at the end of the bay, making the salinity of the sea significantly lower. The high concentration of oxygen creates specific characteristics and enables a large bioproduction of plankton, fish and shellfish. The later are also farmed in the bay (oysters and mussels). The shores of the bay are quite steep and high, while the northern one is covered with evergreen vegetation, the southern one has deciduous trees. Four large dark caves are visible on the verticals of the northern shore, the most interesting is the Romuald’s cave.
