My favorite beach in Rovinj. Peebles, sand, and rocks… nice entrance to the sea… beautiful view… and a self-service bar Punta Cabana which is extremely relaxing with its hammocks between the trees.
Fantastic beach on the rocks. The most beautiful part is between the old Skaraba Beach, and the Restaurant Grote and it is worth spending your day there. Take your hammock, snorkeling equipment, find a nice spot between the trees, and enjoy the sea view. If you get hungry head to the restaurant Grote
