Further along the coast south of Zelena Laguna, this resort area takes its name, Blue Lagoon, from the clear water along its shore. Hotels and holiday facilities line the coast here, built for travellers who want to settle in for days rather than pass through. It sits within easy reach of central Poreč for a change of scene.
