Debeli Rtič (Italian: Punta Grossa) is a cape in the northern Adriatic sea on the border between Slovenia and Italy. It is located north-west of the Slovenian town of Ankaran, and west of the Italian town of Muggia.

The name (both in Slovene and Italian) literally means "Fat little cape" or "Fat capey".

The cape is a natural park, so it is forbidden to built anything within the park, which is also home to the only salt meadow on the shores of the Mediterranean sea.

History

Because of relatively shallow water around the cape and various natural obstacles in the sea it was impossible to build a port anywhere on the cape, so very few decided to live there, however the place was later used as fields to produce food, which remains up to this day.
