A club whose primary mission is to support divers, from beginners to professionals. It also organizes a three-day course (Padi Open Water Diver accredited courses), which includes 5 theory modules, 4 shallow dives and 4 deep dives. No special knowledge is required, just good physical fitness. Other water sports on offer include water skiing, kitesurfing, wakeboarding, tube towing and banana buoy.

Appreciated by locals and tourists alike, the beach is grassy and adorned with a small library: perfect for a little reading during sunbathing! Several cultural events such as concerts and exhibitions are organized in the summer. A family beach par excellence. If you prefer a wilder beach away from the city centre, head for the Italian border and discover the beach of Saint-Bartolomé. If you are a fan of electronic music, favour the student beach, which is very lively in summer.

Dive center that offers many underwater activities. The coaching team is very professional and will help beginners to successfully and safely complete their great baptism of fire. Courses are also offered to those who are more experienced in this discipline. Of course, all the equipment is on loan and you will be taken care of as soon as you arrive at the marina. Free parking nearby if you are a customer of the centre. Private lessons are also possible in French, upon prior reservation.

An exceptional cycling path, Parenzana follows the route of the old railway line of the Istrian peninsula. It then extended from the Italian Trieste to the Croatian Poreč. The 100-kilometre route is fairly easy to follow: coasts are rare and the track is well secured. However, the use of an ATV is preferred because of the sometimes rocky road sections. The Slovenian part is certainly the best maintained and offers a series of delicious panoramas of the hidden jewels of the coast.

For a sporting break, this course is ideal for a good game, with well-maintained courts that are floodlit in the evening. We appreciate the different types of surface available for hire. Admittedly, the hourly rental rates (minimum 1 hour) are higher than elsewhere, but the maritime atmosphere and well-groomed appearance of the site will appeal to many. Lessons with a professional are available on site. An international men's tournament is held here every August. Equipment hire if required.

At this two-wheeler specialist, you can rent recent, well-maintained bikes at moderate rates for the region. Rates are per day for classic models, electric bikes, mountain bikes and urban sidecars. Discounts are available for longer-term rentals. An anti-theft device is supplied with the bike, and the manager will be on hand to assist you remotely or on site in the event of a puncture or other minor technical problem.
