Parentino Beach
A beach just north of the centre, its name echoing Poreč's old Italian name.

Why it is worth your time
Parentino sits a short way north of the old town, its name recalling Parenzo, the town's old Italian name still used along this coast. It is close enough for a quick swim without much planning, yet far enough to escape the busiest central stretch. A simple, practical choice for an afternoon by the water.
