Bijeca is the best-known beach in Medulin and one of the few long sandy beaches in Istria. It stretches for about a kilometre right in the heart of the village, with soft sand and a gentle entrance into the sea.
The shallow water makes it ideal for families with small children, and with plenty of facilities along the shore, many spend the whole day here, from a morning swim to an afternoon of games and sports on the sand. A lifeguard watches over swimmers during the summer.
The beach continues into Belvedere, a modern beach with showers, steps into the sea and sunbeds, and further on into the pebbly Alba Chiara, where you can rent canoes, pedal boats and bikes.
Bijeca is just a few steps from the centre of Medulin, and the wild coves of Kamenjak are a short drive away.
