The beach's proximity to the resort and its access via stairs or ladders provide easy entry to the water, though the boulders may require caution when entering.Facilities and activities

Reviews
A wonderful place for having a relax day on the sea.
Good beach for families with a bit elder kids. We came by car and parked in front of the resort area €4 for a day. Showers all over for free a bit hard to find toilets . A lot of trees for shade, stairs down to water, easy access. Didn’t find any place to buy ice cream or soft drinks.
Clear water with underwater life, less people than in beaches in Poreč center. Access to water via ledders or stairs. You can find quiet places in Plava laguna camp but also rush places with watersports and trampolines. are kristensen
Fantastic place to relax, sunbath and take a swim in clean and clear water 👍 Istria
