Spiaggia Riva dei Pini, Sandy beach in Santa Margherita di Pula, Italy
Description
Spiaggia Riva dei Pini is a beach along the Mediterranean coast with fine sand and pebbles, framed by native pine trees that provide shade. The shoreline slopes gently into the water, forming a sheltered cove with shallow entry and protected character.
History
This was originally a quiet fishing village until Santa Margherita di Pula developed as a resort destination starting in the 1950s. The development brought infrastructure and visitors while the place retained much of its local character.
Culture
Fishing families have long shaped the area, anchoring boats in shallow coves and landing daily catches along the shore. Visitors still see this tradition today through simple structures where local fishermen repair nets and sell their catch.
Practical
The beach has shallow sections ideal for family swimming, and beach chairs and umbrellas are available to rent on site. Parking is within walking distance, both free and paid options, which visitors should keep in mind when planning.
Did you know?
The pine trees create natural shade pockets where visitors can move between direct sun and shaded areas without leaving the water's edge. This feature makes the beach especially pleasant on hot summer days.
