Lungomare is a well-known boardwalk in Pula located between Beach Valkane and Soline Cove. It is 4 km long, and is settled inside the thick pine woods. There are three beaches connected to the boardwalk: Valkane, Gortan Cove and Valsaline (Mornar). Near the boardwalk there is a recreational path with exercise devices. There are free parking spaces along the whole length of the boardwalk. During the day, Lungomare is filled with walkers and recreation lovers, and in the evening it becomes filled with young people. We recommend the walk around the magnificent sunset before evening hours.

The beach is filled with stair-like plateaus and it has a very shallow entrance to the sea, which makes it perfect for families with kids and older persons. Gortan Cove Beach is very small, so it can be crowded during the summer. Above the beach is a monument to Vladimir Gortan, a hero, and a beach bar Pomidor where you can get refreshments. You can arrive to the beach by car since there are many free parking spaces. There is a safe net in the cove which increases security for the bathers. Many young people come to the beach in the summer evenings.

Cape Kamenjak is a wonderful nature park located on the Premantura peninsula on the southern tip of Istria. Close to Pula as well as some of the other resort towns in the area, the park is an excellent and relaxing way to spend a day and is highly recommended. With an unusual landscape, miles of rugged coastline and beaches to enjoy, coves and caves to explore, a quirky ‘safari bar’ and even some animals to (hopefully!) see, it’s definitely worth an outing.
