The municipality of Moscenicka Draga stretches from Medveja (Cesar Bay) all the way to Zagorje (Stepca), in an area of sixteen kilometers. It has seven pebble beaches and many hiking trails. The area is extremely hilly and covers about 63 square kilometers.
The area is surrounded by the Ucka Nature Park. It is very interesting, because in addition to coastal tourism, there is also the possibility of developing rural tourism in the area of Ucka - Ucka mountain with Ucka, Sisol, Kremenjak. The population is around 1,700. According to the 2011 census, there were 1,535 inhabitants in 14 settlements - Kraj, Brsec, Golovik, Grabrova, Mala Ucka, Kalac, Moscenice, Martina, Moscenicka Draga, Susici, Obrs, Sveti Anton, Sveta Jelena and Zagore. The administrative center is Moscenicka Draga. The accommodation capacity of the municipality is about 2,500 beds, about 1,100 in hotels and camps and 1,400 in private accommodation. The municipality of Moscenicka Draga covers an area of 4,396 hectares. The main economic sectors are tourism and fishing. The tradition of fishing dates back to the 19th century, while tourism began to develop after the Second World War.
Two beautiful beaches are the main reason for the vacation of many domestic and foreign guests. Moscenicka Draga is called Croatia's Portofino because of its resemblance to this beautiful Italian tourist destination. It is known as the pearl of Kvarner in the Kvarner region and is definitely a city worth visiting. In addition to two beautiful beaches, Draga has many old and new villas located along the coast and a relatively old park, which is rich in flora and is called Contovo Park after its former owner - Count Conto. The coastal promenade towards the beach of St. Ivan reveals the characteristic Mediterranean charms, especially on hot summer nights. The entire coastal area of Moscenicka Draga sings a song entitled Sipar by the poet Rikard Katalinic Jeret, which is carved at the end of the beach.
The pearl of the promenade is Villa Zagreb, the former Villa Ossoinack, and nearby Villa Primorka, Villa Istra and Villa Rubin in Saint Ivan. The old town center stretches all the way to the sea, where in its center there is a small lagoon, in which there are fishing boats, small barges and, in the summer months, a small marina for tourist boats. The old town is a typical fishing center, which was created at the end of the 19th century, when the inhabitants of Draga and the surrounding villages gradually moved to the coast for fishing. Apart from tourism, this has become the basic economic branch of the municipality. In Moscenicka Draga there are Hotel Marina, Hotel Mediteran, a car camp, many private apartments and rooms, accommodation in villas, diving centers, restaurants, sports club Draga, the possibility of using water sports, tourist information center Annalinea and Liburnia, various inns, shops, bank, dental offices, pharmacy, clinic and more.
Also of particular interest are the new hiking trails on the slopes of Ucka and the roads to nearby villages and hamlets, as well as to the historic village of Trebisca, which represents the cultural and civilizational beginning of this area.
