Hotels near Rovinj Beaches

Rovinj's coast is lined with rocky and pebble beaches rather than sand, most of them south of the old town toward and within the Golden Cape park. Lone Bay and Mulini Beach are the closest and best equipped, with clear water, sunbeds, and beach bars a short walk from the centre.

Further along, the coves within the Golden Cape park are quieter and more natural, shaded by pines right down to the water. The Adriatic here is famously clear and clean, ideal for swimming and snorkelling, though the entries are stony, so water shoes help.

Pro Tip: For sand, you have to take a boat to Crveni Otok, as the mainland beaches are rock and pebble. Bring water shoes and a mat, and arrive early in summer to claim a shady spot.
