Hotels near Golden Cape Forest Park

The Golden Cape Forest Park, known locally as Zlatni Rt or Punta Corrente, is a protected woodland headland just south of the old town. Planted with cypress, cedar, pine, and holm oak by an Austrian baron in the 1890s, it is laced with shady walking and cycling paths along the shore.

The rocky coast here is dotted with quiet swimming spots and pebble coves, and the calm bays are popular for a dip away from the town beaches. The cliffs on the seaward side are even used for rock climbing, and the whole park is an easy, scenic escape from the summer crowds.

Pro Tip: It is a pleasant 20-minute walk south along the coast from the old town, or a short ride on the tourist train. Bring water shoes for the rocky entries into the sea.
