Klenovica is situated nine kilometres south of Novi. It is a small fishing town which celebrates its fishermen and the sea. For people from Klenovica sea is life and the proof is the monument of a fisherman in the port. Today, Klenovica is known as a tourist destination ideal for rest and recreation. Its major characteristic is its clean sea and landscape. Klenovica includes nearby scattered hamlets Cvitkovići, Kalanji, Miletići, Kula-Komadine and Žrnovnica. One of the oldest written documents mentioning Klenovica originates from the end of the 14th century, the Statute of Senj from 1388, in which it is noted that the boundaries of the town of Senj extend all the way to Suha Kozica. Žrnovnica is a hamlet within Klenovica and it is mentioned in 1455, when it was written that there are mills in Žrnovnica under Ledenice.

Subterranean river in Žrnovnica makes the sea clean and that is why people today grow mussels, oysters and silver salmon there. Judging by the number of coastal tuna traps, tuna fishing was the most important fishing method in the area. This is additionally evidenced by the restored tuna traps that were removed in the 1950s. They are the symbol of hard life of fishermen and sailors. One of them is situated on the small island of St. Anton that looks like a peninsula because locals filled the path to it with large stones. Those stones also protect beaches in Klenovica from big waves and strong bura winds that are extremely cold during the winter. The vegetation is characterised by bare terrain with areas of small karst forests of maple, downy oak, white and black hornbeam and black ash. There, you will also feel the scent of black pine that is artificially grown. Klenovica is protected by the wooded hinterland in the North and tourists are attracted to picnic sites in the Krmpote area. If you happen to wander to the area, be sure to visit the hinterland with its wonderful belvederes that will surely win you over.
