Description

Hawaii Beach is a small pebble cove on the Verudela peninsula, in the heart of Pula’s tourist area, below the Park Plaza Arena hotel. Locals call it Havajsko, while its old geographical name is Procipina. Framed by pine forest and facing the open sea, it is one of the most recognisable beaches in Pula.

The middle of the cove is covered in smooth pebbles, with a gradual entrance into the sea and shallow water close to the shore, which makes it a favourite with families with small children. The swimming area is marked with a line of buoys.

On both sides, high rocks rise from the water. They draw young people who love jumping off the cliffs into the sea, and the rocky coast around the cove is great for snorkeling, with an official snorkeling route leading west towards the Verudela canyon.

The cove is small, with limited space on the pebbles, and fills up quickly in summer, so come early in the day to find a spot. After a swim, walk along the coast to Punta Verudela or visit Aquarium Pula nearby.
