Dog’s Beach Portić

Visit Pula Review

Dog’s Beach Portić in Peroj is one of the best-designed and most enjoyable dog beaches along this part of the Istrian coast. It feels thoughtfully planned rather than improvised — clean, spacious, and welcoming to both pets and people.
The beach is covered in white gravel that glows under the sun, and the turquoise water remains clear and shallow, perfect for dogs that love to swim or splash around. A few grassy and shaded areas give relief during hot summer days, while two nearby beach bars make it easy to grab refreshments without leaving your spot.
Unlike many small, narrow dog areas, Portić offers room for play and relaxation. The atmosphere stays moderate even in summer, with friendly owners and calm, well-behaved dogs. A dog shower adds to its practicality, making cleanup easy before heading back to the car.
Free and easy parking right beside the beach seals the deal — Portić is a must for any visitor traveling with their furry companion.

About

Dog’s Beach Portić sits just outside Peroj, surrounded by coastal greenery and overlooking the sparkling waters of the Adriatic. This designated dog-friendly beach is a local favorite thanks to its balance of comfort and open space. The gravel shoreline and gentle entry make it safe for both dogs and small children to enjoy the water.

Despite being a specialized dog beach, Portić feels more like a true beach destination — tidy, calm, and well-kept. Its shaded grassy patches are ideal for picnics or resting between swims, and the nearby bars ensure refreshments are always within reach.

It’s also one of the few beaches in the area that remains open and used year-round, thanks to easy car access and mild coastal weather.
