ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Poreč’s swimming is a string of pebble coves and rock ledges running south from the old town along the Zelena (Green) Laguna coast — Debeli beach with its long stone spit, the family shallows of the Blue Lagoon, and pine woods right down to the water. The water is calm and clear, the entries are gentle, and the town centre stays within a short promenade or shuttle ride.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
What you’ll experience
Pick your beach by mood: Debeli for space and a long sweep, the Blue Lagoon for families and shallow entries, the rocky ledges near the Lanterna lighthouse for quiet and a ladder into deep water. Water shoes make every entry easier; the pines give natural shade through most of the afternoon.
