User reviews
"The beach features beautiful cliffs and a lovely stone plateau that provides a convenient and effortless way to access the sea. Adjacent to the plateau on the right side, there is a small protected pond made of stones, which is perfect for children. However, it is advisable to wear swimming shoes due to the presence of sea urchins."
Harvey's Nomadism
"This beach is a beautiful spot by the ocean offering stunning views. It provides opportunities for swimming, although it caters more towards adults rather than families with young children."

What to do in Lighthouse beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
When it comes to what to do in Lighthouse beach, it's impossible not to mention an insanely popular activity: snorkeling. The coastal waters of the region are full of interesting views, which can be observed through a snorkeling mask. Well, if you do not have the necessary equipment for snorkeling - everything can be purchased at the nearby shops.
It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Lighthouse beach you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own.

Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Lighthouse beach (Istria County) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Lighthouse beach (Istria County) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Lighthouse beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
