Wind Patterns & Natural Shelter (Rovinj)

Rovinj’s archipelago of 14 islands and the Zlatni rt peninsula provide outstanding natural shelter. The western shoreline is protected from Bora winds by Mount Učka, keeping Lone, Škaraba, and Kuvi bays as smooth as glass. The afternoon Maestral (NW) breeze provides refreshing comfort, while southern Jugo winds are well-sheltered inside Lone Bay and Valdibora.

Iconic Beaches & Coves in Rovinj

Park-šuma i borova sjena

Zlatni rt (Punta Corrente)

Jedan od najljepših parkova na Jadranu zasađen krajem 19. stoljeća. Gusta borova šuma pruža cjelodnevni prirodni hlad do samog ruba mora. Obala nudi spoj sitnog šljunka i glatkih kamenih ploča savršenih za sunčanje.

Najpoznatija gradska plaža

Uvala Lone & Monte Mulini

Smještena na ulazu u park-šumu Zlatni rt, uvala Lone nudi fini šljunak, blagi ulaz u more i spektakularan pogled na povijesnu rovinjsku jezgru. Omiljeni izbor obitelji i parova.

Pješčano dno i plitko more

Uvala Kuvi (Cuvi)

Poznata po izuzetno plitkom moru i pješčano-šljunčanom dnu. Zbog zaštićenog položaja more je ovdje primjetno toplije, što Kuvi čini najpopularnijim rovinjskim kupalištem za djecu i neplivače.

Rajski arhipelag

Crveni otok (Sv. Andrija & Maškin)

Samo 15 minuta ugodne vožnje brodicom s rovinjske rive. Dva otočića povezana nasipom nude tirkizne uvale zaklonjene borovima, uređena obiteljska kupališta i divlje stjenovite uvale za mir.

Kultne kamene ploče

Škaraba (Velika Škaraba & Rt Rusi)

Omiljeno kupalište Rovinjana. Velike ravne kamene ploče idealne su za sunčanje, a duboko i kristalno prozirno more pruža fantastične uvjete za plivanje, ronjenje i skokove s hridi.
