Bijeca Beach in Medulin is Istria's most popular sandy beach — a 1-kilometer stretch of fine sand and shallow, calm water at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula. The beach slopes very gently into the warm Adriatic, staying knee-deep for 50 meters or more — making it the perfect choice for families with small children. The sand is soft and golden, unusual for Istria's generally rocky coastline.
Medulin sits in a sheltered bay with views toward the Kamenjak Cape Nature Park, a wild and beautiful headland with hidden swimming coves, cliff jumping spots, and a famous beach bar (Safari Bar) carved into the rocks. The wider Istria region is Croatia's gastronomic capital — renowned for its world-class truffles, olive oils, and wines, particularly the indigenous Malvazija white. The hilltop towns of Rovinj, Motovun, and Grožnjan, each with distinct medieval Venetian character, make excellent day trips.
Pula, with its magnificent Roman amphitheater (one of the best-preserved in the world), is just 10 kilometers north.

"We've been to a lot of beaches across the Med and Bijeca Beach sits comfortably in our top five. The sand is properly soft (not the gritty stuff you get further east), the water shelves gently for the first 30 metres, and the small reef at the headland makes for legitimately good snorkelling. Only minor gripe: the walk down from the parking is steep — fine going, less fun coming back up with kids and a cooler."
