Lone Bay is a stunning shingly beach nestled near the entrance of the Golden Cape (Zlatni Rt) Forest Park in Grad Rovinj, Istria, Croatia. Surrounded by a century-old Mediterranean pine forest, the beach offers a serene and picturesque setting with crystal-clear waters and pebbled shores, perfect for families, elderly visitors, and young adventurers alike. This beach is especially cherished for its natural shade provided by the forest and its peaceful ambiance, contrasting with the livelier town of Rovinj nearby. Visitors can enjoy spectacular views of Rovinj's old town and the island of Katarina, making it not only a place to relax but also to soak in the local coastal beauty.
In recent years, the city has invested significantly in the beach's adaptation, including a newly constructed promenade that stretches about 200 meters along the shore, connecting the ACI Marina to Zlatni Rt Forest Park. The promenade is lined with Mediterranean greenery and offers well-maintained plateaus for sunbathing and a variety of beach services across three zones catering to different preferences and budgets. Although the beach is accessible mainly by foot or bicycle, there is parking available a short walk away, ensuring convenience without compromising the natural environment. A range of rental equipment like boats, paddleboards, and canoes enhance the adventurous vibe for visitors seeking more than just sun and sea.
With its unique combination of natural beauty, well-thought-out facilities, and proximity to cultural attractions, Lone Bay serves as Rovinj's premier bathing resort and a must-visit destination for both relaxation and outdoor activities.
