Rivarela

Rivarela – the family-friendly city beach

A long, well-maintained beach stretching along the promenade, Rivarela is perfect for those who want to stay at the heart of the action. Here, a day by the sea easily turns into an evening out, as you’re just steps away from the old town of Novigrad.

Set beside the historic centre and a lively seafront walkway, this beach combines landscaped stone plateaus with stepped entrances into the sea. Paved sunbathing areas with loungers and umbrellas provide comfort, while metal handrails in the water ensure a safe and easy entry, especially for children and older visitors. The sea is shallow and accessible, and the open horizon offers views of passing sailboats in the Novigrad waters.

Restaurants, bars and cafés are all within immediate reach, making it easy to move from a morning swim to an afternoon coffee and an evening stroll at sunset. The proximity to the old town adds a vibrant atmosphere, making Rivarela one of the most dynamic beach spots in the area. A landscaped green zone with a children’s playground nearby further enhances its appeal for families.

Perfect for: families with children, guests staying in the centre, lovers of urban beaches, and anyone looking to combine swimming, gastronomy and an evening promenade in one day.
