More sights of Central Dalmatia

Croatia, stretching along the coast of the Adriatic Sea, is an ideal destination for beach lovers. It remains only to select the region. The best beaches, almost 90% of which belong to the state, are concentrated in four zones: on the Istrian peninsula, in Central and South Dalmatia. We offer to study each region in detail.

Istrian coast: the most famous beaches in Croatia

Istria has a Mediterranean climate, which means it is a little drier and colder than in Dalmatia - the average summer temperature is + 28-30 ° C, which is especially pleasant for vacationers in July-August. You can start the beach season already in May, and end it by the end of October, there are plenty of beaches here, many of them are marked with the international Blue Flag sign for the cleanliness of the sea and water area. Let's go through the main cities.

The main feature of a beach holiday in this region is the vast park areas that stretch from horizon to horizon along the sea. The air smells of the sea, pine needles, and the trees reach the very edge of the water. You can wallow in the dense shade of trees all day long or, taking two steps closer to the surf line, bask in the gentle Croatian sun.

1) Umag is a diving and tennis center in western Croatia near Slovenia. Most of the beaches here are pebbly:

• Laguna Stella Maris- the most gently sloping and small-pebble, located just 3 kilometers from the city center.

• Katoro- combines patches of sand and pebbles, surrounded by pine trees, located in the resort village of the same name near Umag. Suitable for families - there are playgrounds and sports grounds, a swimming pool and water slides.

• Sol Polynesia- one of the few sandy beaches in Croatia in this region, pebble zones are also found. The “trick” of the beach is grass football and badminton grounds, a playground and a bar, as well as walking distance to a nudist beach.

• Kanova– a rocky area with concreted areas near the campsite, located 8 kilometers from Umag, in a picturesque bay. Famous for its Večeri Karigadora - evenings with live music, fish dishes and dancing.

• Savudrija- a rocky beach in the resort town of the same name. A favorite place for surfers, there is a campsite, restaurants and sports grounds. The main attraction is the 19th century lighthouse.

2) Porec- will be the second you see after Umag, if you move south. A cozy Mediterranean city surrounded by greenery is famous for the Euphrasian Basilica with Byzantine mosaics, the remains of ancient Roman temples and forums and, of course, 17 well-groomed small-pebble beaches with bays and lagoons (the length of the coastline is about 64 km). According to the city authorities, 20% of all "Blue Flags" of Croatia are concentrated in Poreč. Here are the most famous of the beaches:

A relatively large medieval town with cobbled streets polished to a shine by thousands of pairs of feet. The center with the traditional Old Town and the indescribable beauty of pink sunsets - exactly like the rose dessert wine Biser Mora from the Katunar winery! We recommend buying a cool bottle of wine in the center, a couple of glasses of raspberries and ending the evening by climbing to the highest point of the old town near the church of St. Euphemia. Find the most secluded place on the boulders, watch how the sea shimmers solemnly and every minute pleasure boats and snow-white yachts leave and return from the port.

The most famous local beach is located on the island of St. Catherine - here tourists are waiting for a diving center, windsurfing equipment rental, you can play beach golf or volleyball. The northwest of the island attracts lovers of jumping from high cliffs into the sea.

It is there that perhaps the main attraction of the country is located - a small-pebble beach on the Cape of the Golden Horn (Zlatni rât), marked with the Blue Flag. Depending on the direction of the winds and sea currents, the cape changes its shape - this is a popular place among lovers of water skiing, parasailing, jet skis and other water activities.
