These places are much beautifull and in the summer period many people invades these beaches beginning from the months of May-June up to September-October. I want to offer you any images of the sea of Pula and give you a brief description of the characteristics of these places, underlining however that this is only a least part of what there is enough to makes one see and know about the wonderful sea of Sardinia. The section didicated to the sea of Pula, and particularly to the natural characteristics, it deserve surely of have enlarged and taken care of in more deepened manner and it is my intention come true all that as soon as possible in these pages.

The beaches of the bay of Nora

The bay of Nora baia is fully grown from a gulf that departs from "Punta Coltellazzo" at Sud, to arrive up to a promontory, toward north, that it houses a zone denominated "Batteria" because there are ex military installations of the second world war. Here there is beyond to buildings restructures many bunker also and  places troops for the heavy artillery unused by now. Along all the bay are present hotels, restaurants and other tourist services  and are active services of urban and extra-urban transport.

All the bay is fully grown from sandy beaches. Crossing the road that coasts along it as they meet different entries each of which door to a beach. The different zones assume various names according to the characteristics of the place. So we have the zone of Nora denominated  "La Banchina", the zone of Sant'Efisio, the area "I Fichi" or "Scoglio Arrudinu", "La Marina", "Su Guventeddu" and so on. 

The real beach of Nora goes from the south cape, up to the church of Sant'Efisio. This tract of sea it is prevalently sandy with low backdrop and he enjoys of the view of the tower of Nora sited to "Punta di Coltellazzo".

This area is characterized by the presence of the archaeological rests diffused around and connected to the ruins of the ancient city. Any rests in the zone of the "Banchina" could be seen, they stay at the level of the run aground and near to the street; there are other ruins in the area of "Guardiania" near to the church of Sant'Efisio.

From other side of the street, toward west, there is the lagoon of Nora. This is a protected zone, where numerous animal and vegetable typical species of the Mediterranean area lives. To the inside of the lagoon it is possible to make guided excursions with the boat. In proximity of the lagoon to southwest there is a natural small harbor used by fishermen, here there are small fishing boats moored along the coast. In north direction instead you going toward the beaches of  "Su Guventeddu".

This tract of sea has characterized from a rocky natural barrier to thread of water that crosses all the inlet to a distance of around 200 meters from the water-edge. In the periods of low tide in that point the rocky base appears on the surface from the water. Many people approach in this place for the underwater fishing or simply for admire the beauty of the sea inhabited backdrop from polyps, rich and so on. 

The beaches of Santa Margherita di Pula

Santa Margherita is a part of the inhabited area of Pula but his history and origin differs from those of the town. Santa Margherita is fully grown from a small urban center absorbed in the green of pines and eucalyptus. If you take ourselves off from the center, you can see that the residences become more and more rare and they assemble in determine zones to form residential inhabited area prevalently condominiums or community. Many of these villas are inhabited only during the summer and in other recurrences during the year.

Through the state road 195 you can enter to Santa Margherita. The main entries are three.
 

The central entry carries to the inhabited area of Santa Margherita, the other two coasts along the sea-front with very handsome panoramas and allows to reach the center however. Crossing one of these roads you can arrive to the beaches particularly in the place Cala D'Ostia, where sandy shore is very spacious, the sand is thin and the waters are naturally clear. In the other side of the street there are many campings absorbed in the pines and hotels. They are active services of urban and extra-urban transport.
