Girandella Beach, Rabac

Updated October 17, 2026.

Girandella in Rabac has several beach sections. Sundance and Maro cater for families, while Sunrise Relax is intended for a quieter stay.

Pebbles, rocks and paved areas alternate along the promenade on Istria’s east coast, with views across the Kvarner Bay towards Cres. Sundance Sandy Family has both pebbly and sandy areas, while Maro Family is a pebble beach. The inflatable Wibit water park costs extra at both. Sunrise Relax is a pebbly section with a bar, showers and changing cabins.

At Carnerolo V Level Family beach, sun loungers and parasols are reserved and free only for V Level guests, subject to availability. Some services along the coast operate seasonally and may incur extra charges.

Underwater life at the end of the promenade

Below the Girandella Diving Centre, steps cross a sunbathing area and lead to two small pebble beaches. The beach on the right, facing the sea, is the starting point for exploring the underwater life around a rocky reef. Sponges live in the reef’s crevices, and algae cover the rocks. Currents can be strong in this part of the Kvarner Bay.
