The coast

The sea of your dreams, from Nora to Santa Margherita

The splendid coastline of Pula stretches out over the twenty or some kilometers between Nora and Santa Margherita, an endless sequence of stunning beaches: an extended swath of white, fine sand, where the briny scent of the sea mingles with the fragrance of the pine trees, wrapping you in a shell of perfumes which seems to protect you. Along the coast, you can find large resorts for summer and winter holidays, immersed in green areas, including residences and prestigious hotel accommodations.

Four kilometers of tree-lined avenues you can ride on your bike, also ideal if you like to go jogging or just for a stroll outdoors, lead you to the center of Pula on the coast of the bay of Nora, an enchanting spot due to the presence of an extraordinary archaeological site from which rises, on the promontory of Capo di Pula, the tower Torre del Coltellazzo (also referred to as the tower of Sant’Efisio), from where you can admire the breathtaking scenery offered by the crystal-clear waters of the sea, blending with the water of the lagoon of Nora, a harmonious habitat composed of the characteristic colors and scents of the typical Mediterranean shrubs which host numerous species, including the Corsican gull, heron, flamingo, and the kingfisher.
