Gortanova uvala is a small pebble cove on the Lungomare, Pula’s favourite seaside promenade, which stretches for 4 km from Valkane beach to Gortanova and on to Valsaline. While most of the coast along the way is rocky, the cove itself is pebbly and gentle, which makes it one of the best family beaches in town.
The pebbles slope softly into the sea, so children can paddle safely in the shallow water inside the marked swimming area. Just a few metres behind the beach, a pine wood offers welcome shade on hot summer days, and a beach bar nearby takes care of cold drinks.
On both sides of the cove the coast turns rocky, a favourite spot for young people and anyone who loves jumping into the sea.
The cove is small and fills up quickly in summer, so come early to find a spot in the shade. Combine your swim with a walk along the Lungomare under the pines.
