At the beginning of Fornače you can find a well-tended beach with pebbles with disabled-friendly accesses to the sea. Then a concrete beach stretches towards Piran where you’ll find another pebble beach in the proximity of the town’s entrance, suitable especially for families. The beach is terraced and there’s a green area with pine trees, so you can sunbathe or enjoy the cool shade during the hot summer days.

The most popular and visited beach in Piran and at the same time the smallest one is located next to Giuseppe Tartini theatre and Hotel Piran. The beach is made of concrete, has access to the sea and piers. Close by you can find excellent restaurants where you can enjoy your lunch.

Punta is a very popular well-tended beach, part concrete and part rock. There are accesses to the sea, a free shower on the beach, a pier and various bars and restaurants close by.

Natural beaches offer more privacy and tranquillity, but entering the sea can be a bit of an endeavour. During low tide, you can access this beach on foot from Punta beach, otherwise you can reach it from Fiesa. The beach has pebbles and rocks. On one side you have the sea, whereas on the other the mighty cliff that occasionally offers some shade.

The loveliest beach in Piran is definitely Pacug. Access is a bit limited, as you need to manoeuvre among and over some larger rocks, but as you peek around the cliff, you’ll see there’s enough room for some leisurely relaxing on the beach. Unfortunately, there are no bars or restaurants nearby. Going in the sea can be a bit tricky in some places due to the rocks on the sea floor, but there are some pebbly sections too. Pacug is also known for its high cliffs.
