    This is a beautiful place where there is something for everyone. There is a stone beach where you can sit close to the sea or on top of the mountain in the shade, perfect for a hammock between the trees. Jumping off the cliff is something to never forget. With the 14 meter high cliff you will land with a splash in the clear light blue water within seconds. Highly recommended.

    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful landscape. A request to the smoker: Take your tilt with because who enjoys nature here can keep it clean. (And no, I'm not a smoker!) Just take your trash with people, At the top of the parking lot is also a garbage bin. (Original) Sehr schöne Landschaft. Eine Bitte an die Raucher: Nehmt Eure Kippen mit denn wer hier Natur genießt kann sie auch sauberhalten. (Und nein, ich bin nicht Nichtraucher!) Nehmt einfach Euren Müll mit Leute, oben am Parkplatz steht auch eine Mülltonne.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice and not really to be described in words, you have to be there! There were still some quiet spots but due to the cliff diver there is a lot going on here. It is an extraordinary show to watch the jumpers and the grotto is also very worth seeing 👍🏽 (Original) Sehr schön und mit Worten nicht wirklich zu beschreiben,man muss schon dort gewesen sein! Es sind einige ruhige Stellen noch gewesen aber auf Grund der Klippenspringer ist schon viel los hier. Es ist eine außergewöhnliche Show den Springern zuzusehen und die Grotte ist auch sehr sehenswert 👍🏽

    (Translated by Google) A very nice place for the whole family! You can jump into the water from cliffs of different heights, swim into the grotto / cave or paddle in with a kayak / SUP (I recommend a flashlight so you can get to the end of the cave). In addition, you have shade and sun places in an extensive area. The bay is also ideal for snorkeling, with experienced divers being able to dive through a small tunnel. All in all, the bay and the grotto are highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Original) Ein sehr schöner Ort für die ganze Familie! Man kann von unterschiedlich hohen Klippen ins Wasser springen, in die Grotte/Höhle schwimmen oder mit einem Kajak/ SUP rein paddeln (ich empfehle eine Taschenlampe damit man bis an das Ende der Höhle kann). Außerdem hat man Schatten und Sonnenplätze in einer ausgedehnten Fläche. Die Bucht eignet sich auch hervorragend zum Schnorcheln wobei geübte Taucher durch einen kleinen Tunnel tauchen können. Alles in allem ist die Bucht und die Grotte sehr emfehlenswert! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful water, even if full of velelle velelle, harmless but a little slimy and annoying "jellyfish". Great cliff to dive from (Original) Bellissima acqua, anche se piena di velelle velelle, "meduse" innocque ma un po viscide e fastidiose. Ottima scogliera da cui tuffarsi

  • 4/5 R. S. 5 years ago on Google
    Good for a day of self-entertainment. It is just a 5 minute drive from Pula to the parking space. There are a couple of jumpable cliffs within walking distance. If you are a daredevil the 9 and 12 meter cliffs are fun to jump off of and otherwise there are numerous smaller cliffs to jump. The 9 meter cliff overhangs a small cave you can enter swimming. During the day there may be organised classes of people exploring the small cave with snorkels. Be sure to jump on one of their backs to teach them not to swim in the landing areas. Swimming shoes are recommended.

  • 1/5 Emily & P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In the low season certainly a great place to relax, snorkel and swim. However, in the main season totally overcrowded and you will find no more space. Flooded with people. (Original) In der Nebensaison sicher ein toller Ort zum relaxen, schnorcheln und schwimmen. Allerdings in der Hauptsaison total überfüllt und man findet keinen Platz mehr. Überflutet von Menschen.

    I did some deep water soloing with my diving coach. It was really nice. The routes to get to the top are really easy but the traverse is really hard

  • 5/5 Alexander C. 1 year ago on Google
    The beach has both shade and sun. To get into the water you need to jump, but nothing difficult

  • 5/5 Lena S. 2 years ago on Google
    wonderful place, clear water, many possibilities for jumping from the cliffs, wonderful cave

  • 3/5 bernadett s. 2 years ago on Google
    Well, we have seen some tour to this cave up to 70$, and im really glad that we rent a kayak for 2 hours (at the nearest beach) for 200kn and we did it by ourself - without any experience. The cave is really small, there are a lots of ppl jumping from the cliffs, snorkeling, and we have to drive beetwen them - and we saw not one kayaking group while we was on the water around the cave. Its less than i expected.

  • 4/5 Matija �. 7 months ago on Google
    Small cave only accessible via sea not too far from main beaches. You can go in with Sups and kayaks easily. There is also a cliff to jump from.

  • 5/5 Yuriy R. 6 months ago on Google
    Amazing cave and cliff jumping experience. Also very nice water for snorkeling, one of the best spots in Pula for sure. Highly recommend giving this one a try if you like cliff jumping

  • 4/5 StudioS S. 8 months ago on Google
    It is a nice place for jumping, the cave is also amaizing to dive or swim in if you have a water resitant flashlight. My only problem is that the low biodiversity, most of the fishes are belonging to 3-5 species, i only saw two living crabs a few sea lilies and a buch of sea urchins. The biggest problem here are the sharp rocks near the water, i would recommend apart from the usual sea shoes you get a biking glove. If you go a bit norht-west, snorkeling will become much more interesting (and dangerous)

  • 1/5 Madalin S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nothynk interesting.

  • 5/5 Amanda G. 1 year ago on Google
    Glad we came here on a kayak tour. Had time to look in the cave and do a good amount of snorkeling. So many beautiful fish. Lovely clear water. Quite a lot of people and a few boats. Still worth it.

  • 5/5 Edward W. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to jump in! It possible to park fairly close aswell. I can imagine this place gets fairly busy in the summer judging by the amount of graffiti nearby

  • 5/5 Luca B. 5 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place to swim a dive cliff. You can jump directely into the water without much risk. There are a Austrian fortification and free parking not more than 5 minutes by walk. Its a wonderul place.

  • 5/5 Dominik M. 5 years ago on Google
    The best beach in pula county in my opinion. You have the cleanest water,can jump of clips from 2 m to 15m all the best and not too many people because its sligtly harder to reach.

  • 3/5 Benedick L. 5 years ago on Google
    Cool place, not so easy to get there (few hundred meters from something that looks like an abandoned parking lot). Unfortunately not the cleanest place. A lot of people around when it's warm outside but mood is generally relaxed or exciting, depending on who dares to jump the cliffs ;).

  • 5/5 Mrs T. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cool location, a must visit You can jump from different high rocks into the water If you take a waterproof light, you can swim back into the grotto Sometimes kayakers come in groups to visit, if you are fast you can also swim there - these are equipped with light (Original) Coole Location, ein Besuch ist muss Man kann von verschieden hohen Felsen ins Wasser springen Wer eine wasserdichte Leuchte mitnimmt, kann bis hinter in die Grotte schwimmen Manchmal kommen Kajakfahrer in Gruppen zur Besichtigung, wenn man schnell ist kann man auch da mitschwimmen - diese sind mit Licht ausgestattet

  • 5/5 Vladimir H. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful wild place to relax and swim. The grotto is amazing. It's a pity the grotto is not illuminated inside, with a warm light it would be even more impressive. From the cliff, you can jump into the Adriatic and swim directly into the grotto. The grotto resembles a monastic hermitage under a large round dome. Such a place is worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. And I want to go there again.

  • 5/5 Marko V. 3 years ago on Google

    (Translated by Google) It is a magical place. You can test your courage on the cliff. And when you row into the grotto it gets cold and dark. You can view the grotto with a flashlight. (Original) Das ist ein magischer Ort. An der Klippe kann man seinen Mut testen. Und wenn man in die Grotte rudert wird es kalt und dunkel. Mit einer Taschenlampe kann man die Grotte betrachten.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad it was less to be seen than expected. Very crowded in relation to other places. You should be well on foot as the place is very uneven. I would have liked a sign to find the grotto. Otherwise a nice place to stay (Original) Schade, es war weniger zu sehen als gedacht. Im Verhäktnis zu anderen Plätzen sehr voll dort. Man sollte gut zu Fuß sein, da der Platz sehr uneben ist. Ich hätte mir ein Hinweisschild zum finden der Grotte gewünscht. Sonst ein schöner Platz zum verweilen

  • 5/5 Veronika R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) So great. There is a point deduction for the small jellyfish that personally "scared" me. But that's a personal opinion. Otherwise really great place. You can snorkel, you can just lie on the stones under the pine trees and chill or read something ect pp. (Original) Sehr toll. Einen Punkt abzug gibt es für die kleinen Quallen die mir persönlich "Angst" gemacht haben. Aber das ist eine persönliche Meinung. Ansonsten wirklich toller Ort. Man kann schnorcheln, man kann sich auch nur auf die Steine unter die Pinien legen und chillen oder etwas lesen ect pp.

  • 5/5 Raúl González S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place to which everyone who visits Pula should go, the cave is very beautiful but it is necessary to enter with a flashlight, because if you do not do it you will not see anything after passing the first meters. From the rocks over the cave you can jump into the water without problem, there is a height of about 12 meters with more than enough depth to jump safely, I recommend it 100%. P.S. We must also mention the sunsets that are seen from there, at that time of day there are practically no people in the place and it is worth staying to see it. (Original) Lugar precioso al que debe ir todo aquel que visite Pula, la cueva es muy bonita pero es necesario entrar con linterna, ya que de no hacerlo no verás nada al pasar los primeros metros. Desde las rocas que hay sobre la cueva se puede saltar al agua sin problema, hay una altura de unos 12 metros con profundidad más que suficiente para saltar sin peligro, lo recomiendo al 100%. P.D. Hay que mencionar tambien los atardeceres que se ven desde ahí, a esa hora del día ya no hay prácticamente gente en el lugar y merece la pena quedarse a verlo.
