All of you who love nature, freedom and above all peace far away from the hustle and bustle, are located for you under the cliff of the Strunjan Landscape Park – Bele skale, a natural beach that is accessible both by land and by sea.
The beach under the Belvedere
Below the hotel’s tourist resort Belvedere, there is one of the more popular beaches for young people, the swimming pool below Belvedere, where there is a small concrete beach and a wooden pier for adrenaline jumps into the sea.
The beach in Simon’s Bay
Simon’s Bay is known as the most family-friendly part of the coast. The sandy bay, the volleyball court and the water slide are the ideal combination for a family holiday at the sea.
Beach at the lighthouse overlooking the Alps
Locals and recently also tourists love one of the most iconic beaches in Slovenian Istria, the bathing area at the lighthouse, located on the outskirts of the town of Izola, on the cape next to the lighthouse on Petelinji rt. From the beach there is a view of Koper, Debeli rtič and Trieste on one side, and the Strunjan landscape park on the other side. From the beach, the view extends on clear days to the beautiful snow-capped Alps.
