About Seagull’s Rocks Pula
Seagull’s Rocks Pula, locally known as Galebove stijene, is a natural rocky coastal spot in the Stoja and Fižela area, near Valovine. It is known for white limestone rocks, clear Adriatic water, pine trees and wide views towards the open sea.
This is not an organised city beach with loungers, showers, beach bars or lifeguards. Its appeal is the raw coastal setting: rock platforms, natural sea access points, deep blue water and a feeling of being close to the city but away from a classic beach environment.
The location is especially popular in summer, but it should be visited with care. Access is over natural paths and rocks, the surface can be uneven or slippery, and sea conditions can change with wind and waves.
One important rule should be clear before visiting: entering Golubova Cave is prohibited. The cave is a protected speleological object in a sensitive natural area, so visitors should respect all official signs, barriers and instructions on site.
Explore the Coastal Landscape
Visitors come to Seagull’s Rocks for swimming, photography, short coastal walks and views over the Adriatic. The rocky shore creates a dramatic setting, with bright stone, pine trees and clear water forming one of the most recognisable natural scenes around Pula.
The sea is often attractive for confident swimmers and snorkelling, especially when conditions are calm. There are no marked safe swimming zones, so visitors should judge the conditions carefully, avoid risky behaviour and never rely on the location as an organised bathing area.
Golubova Cave helped make the area famous, but it is not part of a responsible visit today. The cave should be viewed only from outside permitted areas, while swimming, photography and relaxing should take place outside restricted zones.

VisitPula Our Take
Seagull’s Rocks Pula is best for visitors who like natural coastlines, clear water, rocky scenery and a slightly adventurous beach experience. It suits couples, photographers, confident swimmers and travellers who want to see a wilder side of Pula.
The best time to visit is early in the morning or later in the afternoon, when the area is usually calmer and the light is better for photos. Treat it as a flexible short visit, or stay longer only if the sea is calm and you are fully prepared.
This is not the best choice for small children, visitors with limited mobility or anyone looking for easy sea access and beach facilities. For a safer family beach day, choose one of Pula’s more organised beaches instead.
