BARBAT |
|
| |
 The place is known for numerous small sand beaches extending from the former ferry pier to the beginning of the town. The islet of Dolin extends parallel to the coast of Barbat, which makes the Barbat channel an attractive place for yachting and water skiing. Since Barbat is attractive to boaters, it has a speed boat repairing yard, as well as a shop of nautical supplies and spare parts. Numerous vacation homes along the coast, well-developed catering establishments offering domestic products, boarding and lodging services, clean sea under Velebit Mountain and peaceful islands - make Barbat a pleasant place to stay.

BANJOL |
|
| |
|
 Part of Banjol is scattered over the hills above the road, and the other part, below the road, dips to the sea in four bays, or Padova. Banjol, like all the other towns and villages on the island, offers accommodation for tourists in attractive and up-to-date houses.
The individuality of Banjol lies in its Padovas, or sheltered bays, which teem with swimmers during the day, and at night with little boats coming back from their fishing.
Houses along the beaches, little piers on the shore, a view of the old city and its bell-towers, and the path that goes along the very shore, all make Banjol a place to come back to.

Above many of the Renaissance and Gothic portals you can still see the crests of the aristocratic families of Rab, the descendants of whom are your kindly hosts of today.

KAMPOR |
|

The green environment - the vicinity of the Kalifront peninsula with the well-preserved Dundo Forest - provides a nice scenery for long walks, and the nearby tourist resorts Suha Punta and Rab offer entertainment in the evening.
KAMPOR, a village in the north-western part of the island of Rab, on the coast of the wide Kampor cove (Kamporska Draga). The Roman name originates from the word campus (field). The inhabitants of Kampor have been depending on agriculture ever since ancient times, which is recently supported by the development of tourism. Other chief occupations include livestock breeding and traditional fruit growing. The shallow and muddy Kamporska Draga does not allow the construction of any piers, which makes Kampor, in terms of traffic, completely oriented to Rab. A local road connects Kampor with the town of Rab

DRAGA |
|
| |
The fertile valley houses Supetarska Draga as well as Mundanije. Gornja and Donja (Upper and Lower) Draga have spread round the Draga Bay. The people of the Dragas have also combined modern and traditional ways of living, and this is easily sensed in tourist industry. There are guests who come back to the same hosts year after year, while new arrivals are quick to become attached to the place and the people. Draga is also interesting to people who come in boats; they are not limited to mooring off the shore, but can stay briefly by one of the neighbouring islets, Maman, Srednjak or Sailovac. Islets are attractive with their clean and protected sand beaches and bays, and rich undersea life around them is discovered to the sport fishermans.
The Draga Bay is protected too; it is shallow and calm, and here many birds nest and over-winter. Once upon the time there were salt pans here, and in the Draga valley the Romanesque basilica of St. Peter was built in the eleventh century. Its beauty attracts the faithful and lovers of art alike.
