Best Beaches in Pula

One of Pula's most popular beaches, located on the Verudela peninsula just south of the city centre. Ambrela offers a long stretch of fine pebble beach with excellent facilities, including sunbed rentals, beach bars, and nearby restaurants. The water is clean and clear with a gentle entry, making it suitable for families. Pine trees along the shore provide natural shade during the hottest hours.

Famous for its cliff jumping and wild, untouched setting at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula within the Cape Kamenjak nature reserve. Hawaii Beach features dramatic rock formations, crystal-clear turquoise water, and a sense of adventure that is hard to find elsewhere. The beach is accessed via a short walk through Mediterranean scrubland.

A rocky beach near the Stoja camping site, about 3 kilometres southwest of the city centre. Stoja is known for its crystal-clear water, cliff jumping spots, and a more rugged, natural feel compared to the developed Verudela beaches. The rocky coastline creates natural pools and platforms for sunbathing, and the snorkelling here is excellent.

A sheltered pebble beach tucked into a calm bay close to Pula's city centre, between the Verudela and Lungomare areas. Valkane is popular with locals thanks to its easy access, calm water, and pleasant surroundings. The bay is well protected from winds, making it a reliable swimming spot even when other beaches are choppy.

A dramatic cliff coastline that is a firm favourite among locals. Galebove Stijene (Seagull Rocks) offers flat rocky platforms for sunbathing, deep water for swimming, and spectacular views along the coast. There are no facilities here — just raw, beautiful coastline and incredibly clear water. It feels worlds away from the tourist beaches.
