No matter what you are going to Trieste for,
you should make a point of visiting the beach every day.
You
will you find some fantastic restaurants to sample the tantilising
local cuisine.

As an alternative, if
you want to get out and about, Trieste is just around the corner
with their famed selection of elegant piazzas and abundance of
beautiful churches. The Venetian Riviera is home to two of the world’s
most amazing cities, as well as busy beach resorts, blending a beach
holiday with city breaks.
From Duino to Muggia
the coast around Trieste is well known for its indentedness and
variety and it is characterized through stones and rocks and the
Triestine coast is filled with beaches that are some of the cleanest
in Europe.
NUDE and
CLOTHING OPTIONAL BEACHES of SISTIANA
NACKTBADEN FKK SISTIANA
PLAGES NUDISTES
SPIAGGE NATURISTE DI
SISTIANA
Nude Beach. The very
mention of these two words often arouses feelings of titillation,
embarrassment, outrage or even a combination of the three. For
thousands of people, however, the idea of a nude beach seems, well,
natural. After all, we all come into this world wearing only our
birthday suits.
Nude and topless
beaches first became popular along the Mediterranean and Atlantic
coasts of France in the 1950s. Since then, several beaches from Crete
to the Caribbean have become "clothing optional."
In the United States
and much of Europe, people generally arrive at Bare Beach already in
bathing attire, shedding it after deploying their blankets or chairs
and umbrella.
But in France and here
in Italy, you can observe the bewitching custom of men and women
appearing at the beach in street clothes and stripping down in situ.
Along the triestine
Riviera there are 4 nude Beaches.
 There are two wild beaches where one can freely
choose to be bare or to keep swimming suit on : Cava
Casali (Sistiana), Costa dei Barbari (
Sistiana).
So some time naturists
prevail, and the other textiles. The point is you can choose by
yourself and don't have to worry about any harrasment.
Then, between Sistiana
and Trieste, the Liburnia and the Filtri Beach (older people/obligatory nude).
The beaches vary in quality and quantity from place to place as is the
organization of the beaches.
Onde fra i fiori
gialli - Le Ginestre ( Sistiana)
Una spiaggia come
poche in’Istria, servizi di prim’ordine, tranquillità
garantitaSelvaggio dal punto di vista naturalistico e allostesso tempo
raffinato, lo stabilimento balneare Le Ginestre viene inaugurato
ufficialmente nell'estate del 1960. Si raggiunge dalla Costiera
scendendo all'altezza di Marina di Aurisina. Da allora lo stabilimento
gode di un continuo e costante apprezzamento del pubblico.
Le Ginestre,
caratterizzato dai cespugli di fiori gialli che gli danno il nome e lo
abbelliscono assieme ad agavi e bougainville, è frequentato,
nonostante i prezzi non propriamente popolari, da molte famiglie con
bambini, gruppi di giovani, e da affezionati clienti anche di fuori
Trieste, che si distribuiscono lungo la sua spiaggia sassosa, o sui
suoi lastroni di pietra circondati da possenti massi a picco sul mare.
Principalmente ai bambini è riservato, invece, un piccolo litorale di
ghiaia sottile degradante nel mare su cui si affacciano grandi capanni
in legno, prenotati di anno in anno, dotati ognuno di uno spazio
ombroso nel quale rinfrescarsi durante la pausa pranzo o fare un
pisolino lontano dalla folla. Giovani coppie e mamme con figli al
seguito sono il nocciolo duro dei frequentatori della struttura
durante la settimana, ai quali si aggiunge, il sabato e i giorni
festivi, un pubblico molto più eterogeneo, che raggiunge anche le 500
presenze giornaliere. I prezzi di ingresso per gli adulti vanno dai 7
euro feriali agli 8 nei giorni festivi e prefestivi.Un capanno con tre
ingressi costa dai 41 ai 44 euro giornalieri. Una cabina con due
ingressi dai 29ai 31 euro. Chi trascorre, per scelta, l'estate in
città rinunciando alla vacanza altrove, si indirizza verso il mare
azzurro di questa spiaggia, molto più ben frequentata di quelle
d'oltreconfine. Una caratteristica di tutto il litorale della Costiera,
abbinata qui, però, ad una serie di servizi.
In primis il
parcheggio, che consente di accedere quasi al mare senza lunghe
scarpinate. In funzione da due anni, è un servizio di noleggio canoe:
un giro di mezz'ora pagaiando costa 4 euronei giorni feriali e 4,50 in
quelli festivi. Un'oradai sei euro feriali ai 7 euro festivi
BAGNO LE GINESTRE: un
angolo ancora selvaggio che garantisce tranquillità ma ottimi servizi.
Climate for the triestine Coast:
 The warmest months are July and August when
the air temperature is between 25°C and 35°C (77°F - 95°F) and the
sea temperature reaches up to 28° C (83°F). The rain is rare.
This is the time when most of the tourists come. If you're for a
quieter time at the beach and not so many tourists, maybe June and
September are months for you. They are also very warm months with
average temperatures around 25°C (77°F) and the sea surface temps
between 20° C and 25°C (68°F - 77°F).
Sunbathing and
swimming is also possible in April, May and October, but it really
depends on the weather and chances are that you'll get more sunshine
in the southern Adriatic. In that period expect temperature between
15°C and 25°C (59°F - 77°F) and the sea temperature between 16 and
21°C (61-70°F). This is a period with more rain and windy days.
The air temperature on the coast in winter months is between 5 and
10° C (41-50°F) and the sea temperature is in average 12°C (54°F
). Temperature during winter in inland areas can go well under 0°C
(32°F ).

The Venetian Riviera has more than its fair share of
exuberant Italian style, fantastic food and excellent beaches. And if
this isn't enough, some of Italy's most beautiful cities are within
easy reach.
You should use sunscreen because there is nothing worse than
getting a nasty sunburn on the first day of you vacation, rendering
yourself out of any seaside activities until you leave. Sunscreen is
in demand and therefore expensive during the summer months so it would
be wise to budget for it.
Dama Bianca ( Duino
)
Our
Beaches are best May-Oct, though the water is still a little chilly up
to June. Beware crowds July-Aug.
They are often pebbly or hot sand so swimming shoes are useful.
Mediterranean beaches are not truly comparable with those of the
Caribbean or Pacific - the water is cooler and the sand generally
coarser, or even pebbles. Pretty, shady, palm tree fringes are also
rare, though hot sunshine, friendly locals and low prices are almost
guarenteed.
Going topless is not a problem.
Lido di Santa Croce (
Trieste Sistiana)
The Bays of the triestine
Riviera
In these bays the access to the
sea is easy and gently sloping, whereas for the younger ones who enjoy
junping into the sea, there are a few beaches with higher rocks which
fall directly deeper into the sea and thus make acrobatic stunts
possible.
We strongly advise you to
become familiar with the beach and the depth of the sea at this spot
prior to junping into it: the shimmering of the sea and the changes of
high and low tide can be misleading so that jumps into shallow spots
can sometimes result in heavy injuries.
The indentedness of the coast
and the variety of the undersea result in a very lush sea flora and
fauna so that divers, professionals as well as non professionals, will
certainly enjoy it. The bringing up of shell remnants or strange
stones is a frequent pastime and such things are the dearest souvenirs
which will always remind you of your summer holiday at the Adriatic
Sea. At this point, we would also like to advise you not to bring up
living organisms or any kind of protected sea species, since you would
jeopardize the submarine eco-system. Please, also be careful and do
not swim out too far into the open sea while diving and do not dive
without a signal balloon which shows your location to fishing-and
speedboats.
Lido di Polvi
(Trieste)
Some
people are a bit dissapointed with the fact that the eastern part of
the Gulf of Trieste doesn't abounds in sandy beaches, but you
will often hear same people later saying that this is maybe even
better because this is the reason sea water is so clean and crystal
clear.
And
when we say crystal clear, we really mean it.
Le Ginestre ( Trieste
Sistiana)
Eastern
Adriatic is for a reason referred as the cleanest Mediterranean
sea.The eastern Adriatic deepens from the clear shallows to jade green
and cobalt colours of the deeper waters. Not many people can determine
the color of the Adriatic sea. Sometimes it's dark blue, sometimes
greenish-blue. The fact is that the sea, depending on the time of day
and the angle of the sun's rays overflows into a thousands nuances.
However, it is always beautiful and unique.
Bring, or buy when you get
there, a pair of plastic water shoes. Maybe it doesn't look the best,
but it will help you moving around the rocky and pebbly beaches or
getting in or out of the water. In many places, especially isolated
beaches, you will find sea-urchins, which is another good reason to
have some sort of a foot wear. But be glad when you see sea-urchins,
it means the water is absolutely clean because they live only in
especially clean waters.
Stabilimento Le
Ginestre (Trieste)
Bring
out everything that you bring in, especially trash. It is important to
leave sites as clean or cleaner than you found it for the next person.
This especially applies for isolated beaches, so if you don't take out
your trash, the area will be spoiled, since no municipality is likely
to do it. Also, strip cigarette butts from the ground. No one likes
sunbathing in an ashtray. Respect and protect the wildlife.
 BARCOLA
|
Maybe it´s
a little bit generous to call this a beach but all the same,
every year this walkway is literally under siege from
thousands of people of all ages from Trieste. They come to
stretch their towels out and catch the sun. The walkway goes
from Barcola up to the junction with the road leading to the
castle at Miramare. The walkway is made up of a series of
semicircuar terraces which sit above the main street. Below
the street there are cement benches and two small pebble
beaches. Further up towards the junction, people sit out and
enjoy the sun only three metres away from the main road into
the city.
There are
even topless sunbathers there. There are shower and bathing
facilities available as well as some changing areas. If you
come here between July and August, finding a space for your
towel becomes like finding a carparking space in the city
centre in rush-hour. Even walking about becomes difficult
because the place packed with large groups of students.
Of
course it is free to use and there is no timetable, although
swimming at night is forbidden. However, it is a relaxing
and pleasant place to go for a walk throughout the year.
There is disabled access to the sea.

GRADO (TS)
|
|
Grado is
well endowed with many of nature's gifts, including a
beautiful climate, gently sloping shores and more than 20 km
of beaches of very fine sand. It is not difficult to see why,

developed by the Hapsburg Emperor Franz Joseph and was
patronized by the cosmopolitan Austro-Hungarian nobility,
being appropriately dubbed "L'isola del Sole"
("Island of the Sun"). The main beach of Grado is
widely considered one of the most beautiful and
best-equipped in Italy, winning awards year after year. It

the beach are several swimming pools, tennis courts,
basketball courts, beach-volleyball courts, a soccer field,
and a thermal aquatic park. Near the beach are a private
club gymnasium and a private golf course.
Grado's Celebrated
Thermal Spa
In the
19th century, the Austrian emperor Franz-Joseph proclaimed
Grado the "Official Health Resort" of the Hapsburg
Empire. The local microclimate, where the air is blessed
with abdundant iodine, along with the natural sands and
seawater rich in beneficial salts, are what have made
Grado's world class spa the leading spa in Italy for more
than a century. A full range of modern facilities are
located within the newly renovated Spa Center, including a
massage center, solarium, sand-baths, hydro-massages,
inhalations, fitness center, saunas, steam baths, heated
swimming pool, as well as physiotherapy and aesthetic
medicine units.

 The coast of Trieste is well known for the sandy
beaches of the Island Grado and the indentedness and variety of
the Sistiana's Coast, characterized through stones and rocks.
Very soon You will become aware of the beauty and the charm of the
coast which has a lush submarine life and where every beach is
different and certainly represents something worth exploring.
Some people are a bit disappointed with the fact that the eastern part
of the Gulf of Trieste doesn't abounds in sandy beaches, but you
will often hear same people later saying that this is maybe even
better because this is the reason sea water is so clean and crystal
clear. And when we say crystal clear, we really mean it.

For a 14 kilometers (from
Duino to Miramare) Trieste coast is made of rocks jutting out over the
sea ("falesie"); at their foot, beyond the Sistiana bay,
there are some suggestive bays isolated from the traffic of mass
tourists.
 For some kilometers North of the city of Trieste
and South of the small town of Muggia, the coast is low and of the
Mediterranean type. There are many organized beaches that usually cost
about € 4 per person and provide fresh water showers, changing
cabins, umbrellas, toilets, bars restaurants, swimming pools and life
guards.
Most beaches are of
the "swim at your own risk" variety, and if you ask the
locals at your location they would be happy to point you towards the
best waters.
The sun can be
relentless between 12 noon and 4 in the afternoon, so the best time to
swim anywhere in Trieste is between 9-11 AM and 4-8 PM. The sea is
usually very calm in the morning hours, and as a rule the afternoon
breeze brings some waves of varying sizes and intensity.
DUINO
(TS)
|
|
The cliffs
afford an amazing sense of space and exposure to the sky. And
below, verdant plant life, vines and cypresses cascade down
the ribbed rock that emerges, in porous spikes, from the
cliff-face. The cliff is made of limestone and the erosion of
rainwater accounts for the textured quality of the rock.
|
The coast
meanders, so that the cliffs sometimes face one another
allowing dramatic views towards Trieste and reflections on the
calm water. And most days, all you hear is the sound of
wind.Some of the beaches have the look of a hollow shell,
slowly disappearing into the emerald-blue sea. These shells
have been washed out by centuries of rain and sea waves, waves
that in time were able to round and smooth the limestone
sediments from which these shores have been formed.
Some of these beaches can be reached by walking on the age-old
pathways that lead you past the "macchia", the green
spruces and olive tree trunks, while being accompanied by the
scents of rosemary, thyme and mint.

BAIA SISTIANA

Looking for a
relaxing day at the beach where children can be entertained
with plenty of activities and play safely in shallow water?
Sistiana Bay is
the best beach resort in Trieste.
|
Developed during
Trieste's great days at the end of the nineteenth century,
comes to life in summer, when all Trieste seems to come here
to chat, play cards, sunbath and swim.The water is very clean.
Just short of the resort, is the Rilke's
Promenade.Leading magazines inserted the coast near Sistiana
among the most clean and wonderful beaches of the year.
There are two
beautiful pebbly beaches in the bay, Caravella beach, backed
by a steep mountain, and Carstelreggio.The beaches of this
area are very frequented. You'll find it hard to tear yourself
away.Right on the beach there is a diving center, fruit and
ice-cream stands, coffee bar and a beach restaurant.
If you are not a fan of crowds, hustle and bustle, the area
south of Sistiana have many other spots & secluded areas
for a swim.
To find
more privacy and less people you can also walk south or
rent a kayak for a perfect romantic day exploring little coves
and surely you will discover the perfect place for you.  Extraordinary
scenery, Mediterranean scents and surreal beauty of water and
sky color, will soon make you forget about the time. In the
well-indented coastal area with a number of small bays, hidden
within dense vegetation, you will often come across naturists.
Although the beaches are not specified as naturist, many
people choose to enjoy the sea and the sun in this way.
The picturesque
coastline consists of two miles of rock, sand and pebble
beaches, including some romantic coves.After a romantic day at
the beach, treat yourself with a romantic dinner in one of
Sistiana's's restaurants.

Optional - FKK

A resort or beach
that is Clothing Optional means that you can be dressed or nude
- your choice. Many first timers prefer Clothing Optional
locations because it gives them a chance to "ease"
out of their clothes.
Nude beaches, clothing optional
travel and nude recreation have exploded in popularity over
the last 5 years.
To the South of
Sistiana Bay there are so called free beaches which are known
to be naturist for many years, but not officially. Those
places are mostly clothing optional.
This clothing optional coastline can
be found about 500 mts. south Sistiana
Bay.
Sistiana is a quarter-hour drive from
Central
Trieste, 13 km straight up the coastline toward Duino and the
Airport, taking you through Barcola, Grignano and the Castle
of Miramare along the way.
The beaches in the Bay, close
to the parking lots, are textile beaches (Caravella and
Castelreggio).
A 3-minute hike through the cliffside
scenery to the left of Beach Restaurant Castelreggio leads you
to the clothing optional beaches, which are situated on
small tidal coves.
Crystal clear waters and a tolerant,
relaxed atmosphere with both nude and swimsuited folks.
Isolated beaches are surrounded by
high shrubs, craggy rocks and driftwood.
Beyond the beaches, flat rocky cliffs extend for a few
kilometers.
It is very easy to traverse these
outcrops, which are also clothing optional.
Lots of secluded spots behind rocks
for some "outdoor fun," too.
Those who are there for several hours
may alternate between nudity and swimsuits as the spirit moves
them and it's no big deal.
Unlike some "familiar" nude
beaches, this Coast promotes a freewheeling and indulgent
naturist experience for singles and couples. No families
or children here.
You can sit on these cliffs with the
ocean surging just meters below.
On the right day, the waves crash
like thunderclaps and white foam and spray lift high in the
air.
If you do not enjoy the heat of
the beach, you can nestle beneath large stones to escape the
breeze and find any degree of privacy you might prefer.
You can only hear the sounds of
nature and some quiet friendly maritime conversation, and on
occasion you can see dolphins from the peak of these rocks.

COSTA DEI BARBARI (SISTIANA)
Clothing Optional /
FKK
|
 This
beach is not easy to find and the path that leads to it is
steep and hard to climb.To
reach this place, look for a path that goes down towards the
sea along the state road, between the entrance to the motorway
and the delightful village of Sistiana, about 15 minutes by
car from the Trieste city centre. Nonetheless, it is well
worth it when you get there, as this is one of the most
enchanting and extraordinary unattended beaches in the region.
As an alternative you can walk from
Sistiana Bay.
You
have to hike about 2 km to get to the largest beach, but
upon arrival, wow ! Costa dei barbari is great if you want a
friendly, non-threatening clothing-optional environment.
Aqua
blue waters,  Completely
natural setting. Most everyone is nude and man is again
one with nature. Paradise! The beach is sheltered at
both ends by the curve of the shoreline and by large rock
precipices.
This is
truly a corner of paradise, which has phenomenal blue,
clean water. Protected by a breathtaking coastal rock, a
part of this beach is given over to nude sunbathing.
There are no facilities such as a bar or drinking water in the
area.
Lots of people
come over here for sunbathing and swimming during the summer.
A Nude
or Nudist facility or beach
usually means that you are expected to be out of your clothes
completely in the designated areas.
The
Mediterranean is warm here and a refreshing dip to escape the
sun is as typical as a leisurely soak.
On Costa
dei Barbari, you should cast away all of your clothes. Rocky beaches absolutely
untouched with cliffs vertically on the sea in one side and
pebbles on the other side. Clear clean water and
quiet coves attract all those seeking for some peace and
privacy, loneliness and skinny dipping. There are some pebbly
beaches suitable for swimming, but mostly it is rocky
coastline with flat rocks which are so inviting for sunning
and daydreaming.

ZOPPOLI (TS)

The Sentiero dei
pescatori leads down from here towards the sea and crosses the
railway platforms that link Udine with Trieste (obviously be
careful when you cross the track). After the station, the
descent continues in the midst of lots of vegetation and has a
beautiful view over the Istrian coast to the Grado lagoon. Cross over the
coast road and you will eventually arrive at the little
Zoppoli beach after passing through lots of narrow terraces
and grapevines. There are lots of steps, but the sunset over
the sea will make your effort seem worth it. There is also a
small restaurant where you can refuel with a plate of
spaghetti and clams, or fried squid, before climbing all the
way back up again.

GINESTRE (TS)

 Entrance to the beach is
charged 5 Euros per person. The beach is long about a mile or
so. Mostly it is a rocky beach with made platforms for
sunbathing, and there are also two or three small pebbly coves. Above
the beach you can find a spot under the trees with lots of
shade. There are showers on the beach, bocce court, two
restaurants, sort of a beach bar and altogether it is a nice
and well maintained beach which I can highly recommend it to
anyone. Water is very clean.

BELLARIVA (TS)

It's a quiet rocky

crowd even in August, and mostly families and couples.
Long, gravel beach with pebble parts. Easy access if

unbearably hot and people usually bring sunshades/awnings
in July and August.

panorama is breathtaking and the place is absolutely peaceful,
indeed so much so that it is the destination for many families
and mothers with their babies. There is a well stocked bar and
can provide breakfast and lunch or light snacks. It is
possible to hire sun beds , loungers and have a hot
shower at the end of the day. There is a large changing
room.
The only thing
that is missing really is the parking. It's a good idea to
come by bus because you really need a miracle to find a
parking space (unless you come at dawn). The establishment is
open every day from 8a-7p (from the first of May to 30th
September). It is not equipped for disabled customers.

The beach: 15 kilometers of surprises
Jesolo's
long, long beach is a fireworks display of fun that has sports
activities, tournaments and competitions of every kind for
folks of every age. And an endless series of refreshment
stands, bars and restaurants along the beach provides food and
drink to thousands of suntan buffs and people who just can't
get enough of the sun and the sea.
As is to be
expected, marine sports are the most important sporting
activities at Jesolo. There are so many it's hard to chose.
You can either practice your favorite sport, or try something
new with the aid of expert instructors in swimming, diving,
windsurfing, sailboating and water skiing. And you can rent
all the equipment you need. There's also sea scooting,
paraflying and deep-sea fishing, as well as docking facilities
with the latest equipment for those who like to go boating.
Practising sports is very pleasant and healthy on the beach,
where courses in regular and light exercise are held for
people of all ages. You can play beach volley and beach rugby,
and there are games and contests for young and old alike.

Parents
and children together on holiday. Jesolo makes people
forget the duties of everyday life in an atmosphere of
joy through the various offers and ideas. A great
amusement water park. Funny soft rubber games. Funfair
with attractions to suit all tastes. And still more
hundreds of shops open late at night. In Jesolo you
find everything and far more than everything, but at
the same time strictly respectful of peace and privacy.
At
Jesolo, the word "discoteque" is an
understatement. Here, new trends in night life are
created and then spread to become musts in Italy and
abroad. Every night, numerous night spots compete to
offer the most original and chic sensations, sounds,
colours and shows. Music and rhythms from all over the
world are continually hosted at Jesolo and great
surprises are expected this year, too.

TRIESTE

AUSONIA
Among the oldest of Treste's
spa centres, L'Ausonia is divided into two: the first is
almost completely in wood, very characteristic and the
atmosphere is quite unique.  The second is more modern, made
in cement with a 50m swimming pool, with sea water. Not far
from the city gates, right at the end of the shore, (20 mins
by foot from the piazza dell'Unita d'Italia towards Muggia)
the centre is one of the most popular during the week,
especially by families, but also by young and old alike)
because of its handy location and many facilities: bar,
children's games, newspaper stand, open spaces, free parking.
But l'Ausonia is also the only establishment in Triest with a
solarium or rather a place where you can sunbathe. In summer
the waterpolo teams also train here. You pay on the door to
get in and the centre is open from April to October every day
from 8a-7p. Access for the disabled.
LANTERNA
Near the city centre, this is the only beach
in Europe where there is a barrier separating an area reserved
for women and children from an area reserved for men. This is
considered a piece of history, and is like a monument. Apart
from this detail, there are no special facilities here, yet
hundreds of people come here daily after the office or for a
relaxing day out. The entrance fee is extremely cheap and
there is a peaceful atmosphere, as well as equipment to
facilitate disabled access into the sea. It is open from the
first June to 30th September every day from 6a to 8p.
