Demographics
editThe municipality of Malinska-Dubašnica has 3,212 inhabitants and the settlement itself has 816 as of the 2021 census.[2] During the 1990s, the catastrophic consequences of the privatization of the "Haludovo" hotel complex, the main entity in Malinska, almost completely destroyed the resort and led to the loss of at least 150 jobs.[3] The impacted was reflected in the population of Malinska, which decreased by one third.[4]

Geography
editThe settlement of Malinska is about 15 minutes from the Rijeka airport and can also be reached by car from the mainland crossing the Krk bridge. The city of Krk is located 12 km to the south.
Malinska harbor was used as a port due to its protection from bura wind as well as its depth.[6]

editEvery year, on July 23 the traditional "Malinskarska Night" takes place (Croatian: Malinskarska noć) — the day of the municipality and the feast of Saint Apollinaris, patron saint of the parish and settlement.
The parish church of St. Apollinaris is located in the vicinity - Bogovići. Built in the 19th century, it dominates Malinska. The new chapel of St. Nicholas in the center of the port was consecrated in 2000.
