Rivarela Beach in Novigrad: stone terraces beside the promenade

Updated October 23, 2026.

Rivarela is a bathing area on Novigrad’s southern waterfront. Its paved sunbathing terraces lie beside the promenade towards the old town.

Steps with metal handrails provide access to the sea. The sunbathing areas are concrete or stone-paved, with a promenade running behind them past town houses, bars and restaurants.

North of the town harbour lies Karpinjan, a pebble beach backed by pines.
