Beautiful Venetian coastal towns such as Poreč and Rovinj, surrounded by countless bathing bays that invite you to swim and snorkel, characterise the west coast of the peninsula. North of the Lim Fjord is the centre of Istrian tourism: between Umag in the far north and Poreč and Vrsar, holiday resorts line the countless bays. A large range of tourist leisure activities rounds off the offer for a perfect family holiday.
Things are a little quieter south of the beautiful coastal town of Rovinj. The coast here is largely undeveloped. Between Mediterranean scrub and olive groves, you will find quiet spots on the beach even in summer.
