Golden Cape Forest Park Rovinj

Covered in oak and pine groves and boasting 10 species of cypress, this verdant expanse was established in 1890 by Baron Hütterott, an Austrian admiral who kept a villa on Crveni Otok. You can swim off the rocks in the bays nestled between the park's three capes: Punta Montauro, Punta Corrente and Punta Scaraba. It's easily reached on foot or bike by following the waterfront south from the harbour.
