Red Island beach, Rovinj

Crveni otok( Red Island) is a small island, 15 minutes by taxi boat from Rovinj. There are approx. two boats an hour.
The Red Island is really a piece of earthly paradise, a summary of everything astonishingly beautiful adorning Rovinj and its fascinating surroundings. By a magical game of nature - through a fanciful story - ennobled by the human hand, this pearl surrounded by the sea put together two tied islets - St. Andrea and Maškin. The fact of more than 180 kinds of various plants growing there witnesses the richness of the nature's gift.
The island is covered with lush pinewoods, it has idyllic bays and a nice cape with rocky beaches.
On St. Andrea island Hotel Sol Club Istra is located while the Maskin island is reserved for naturists.
St. Andrea offers many facilities within the hotel, while Maskin has an attractive terrace and al Carte restaurant, showers on the beach and volleyball court. Unfortunately In 2002 a violent storm 2002 denuded the island of almost all of its mature trees thus removing most of the shade. It is therefore rather barren and many people now take their sunshades and stands.
