Trieste Gulf

New day, new beach: this is the Gulf of Trieste

The Gulf of Trieste offers an astonishingly diverse choice of beaches: from Marina Julia to Muggia you can experience an entirely different context every day.
Any fan of wind-powered sports will fall in love with Marina Julia, the prime windspot where kite-surfers and wind-surfers reign supreme. The Bay of Sistiana, with its well-equipped resorts, is the preferred family pick, but it is also a hit with young adults who enjoy the beachfront nightclubs. Additionally, its Portopiccolo location also offers exclusive beachfront and wellness-related services. There are also some free beaches located along the coastal highway that could be described as veritable natural unspoilt oases only accessible on foot via scenic footpaths. Nearer to Trieste there are Barcola’s historic lidos, paved beaches, each a little different from the next, oozing history and tradition. These include the Topolino, Pedocin and Ausonia lidos.

Water sports in the Gulf of Triest

The Gulf of Trieste is a prime destination for water sports: SUP, canoeing, scuba diving and boat trips along the coast. Marina Julia is among the top spots for kitesurfing and windsurfing, thanks to the side-on Bora winds ensuring safety and shallow waters, ideal for beginners and professionals alike. Plenty of space is also dedicated to sailing, with schools, activities and iconic events like the Barcolana.
