A wonderful place at the end of a cliff with many great opportunities for swimming and relaxing
An almost exotic beach A 15-minute walk from Lunarica Sunny Camping!
Small pebble beach between the rocks that can be reached by walking through the pine forest. Very beautiful even with the rocky coastline, too bad the view of the cement factory
Beautiful beach, the sea is warmer than in the bay next to the camping site. On a windy day it's nice to jump on the waves. There are no sea urchins. Istria
