St. Andrea
The St. Andrea beach is situated below the Church of St. Andrew and Rabac’s main promenade, only 70 m away from the Allegro Sunny Hotel & Residence by Valamar. Because of its shallow sea access area, it is ideal for families with children, and you can choose whether you want to sunbathe on the sand or stretch your towel on the nearby rocky plateau. Of course, you can escape to the thick shade of fragrant pine trees at any time. Big, small, but also fully grown-up kids will be delighted by the wide variety of water sports. You can quench your hunger and thirst at the nearby restaurants, and even buy fresh fruits and vegetables at the local stands, so you can plan your entire day on this beach without the fear that your family members will be bored, not even for a moment.
Lanterna
The beautiful Lanterna beach spreads out just a few steps away from the Valamar Sanfior Hotel lies. It’s a favourite beach among families with young children because of the gentle sea access and shallow water that lures in to play and have fun. Deck chairs and parasols can be found on the paved area above the beach, and in its immediate vicinity there is a water sports centre where adults can enjoy the adrenaline rush while their children hang out and enjoy the inflatable Wibit water park. Frequently held various eco workshops are a special feature of this beach. Here, your kids can learn how to appreciate the environment that surrounds them and to live in harmony with nature.
