Yes—there is a naturist option in the Pula area, but it is important to confirm the exact authorised stretch before visiting. The coast around Pula includes long beaches, small coves and pine-backed sections, and not every quiet or secluded part is automatically a legal naturist area.

What about Santa Margherita di Pula?

Santa Margherita di Pula is a long coastline made up of several beaches and coves, with access routes that sometimes pass through pine woods. The trees and quieter sections may make the area feel private, but that alone does not mean nudism is permitted there. Do not assume that the side by the pine forest is officially designated for naturism without checking the current municipal map and signs.

Check the current Pula beach plan

In 2026, local reporting on Pula’s newly operative coastal-use plan stated that a beach for nudists is included. Before setting off, consult the Comune di Pula’s current Piano di Utilizzo dei Litorali (PUL), its official notices or the signs at the beach to identify the exact section and any conditions. Boundaries and rules matter more than informal descriptions shared online.

A location mentioned near Nora

Cala Punta Santa Vittoria, in the Nora area, is listed by some local beach guides as a naturist spot. However, third-party listings are not a substitute for a municipal designation. Confirm its current status with the Comune di Pula and follow any signs or restrictions when you arrive.

How to visit respectfully

  • Check the designated area: use the current municipal map and on-site signs.
  • Stay within the authorised stretch: do not assume naturism is permitted along the entire beach.
  • Respect privacy: never photograph other beachgoers without clear permission.
  • Follow ordinary beach rules: take rubbish away, protect dunes and vegetation, and avoid restricted access routes.
  • Be prepared: quieter stretches may have few or no facilities, so bring water and sun protection.

Useful Italian phrase

You can ask locally: “Qual è la spiaggia naturista autorizzata nel territorio di Pula?” — “Which naturist beach is officially authorised in the Pula area?”

The practical answer

Pula’s coastal plan now includes a nudist beach, but the safest approach is to confirm the exact location through official municipal information. Santa Margherita’s pine-backed coastline and the Nora area both appear in informal discussions, yet you should not rely on word of mouth alone. Check the official designation, follow local signs and enjoy the beach respectfully.
