Among Istria County’s coastal towns, Umag stands apart for its historic core on a small peninsula beside the Adriatic Sea. Its narrow old-town streets follow the outline of former fortifications, with stone houses and surviving walls reflecting centuries of Venetian rule. The waterfront faces the northern Adriatic, while the surrounding countryside belongs to Istria’s established wine- and olive-growing area. Umag has hosted an ATP Tour tennis tournament since 1990, adding an international sporting fixture to its summer calendar. North along the coast, Savudrija Lighthouse, completed in 1818, is Croatia’s oldest lighthouse. Place Umag in its wider Istrian setting by browsing webcams from nearby towns and coastline.
