About the beach
Punta Secada, within Duino Aurisina-Devin Nabrežina (the province of Trieste, Friuli-Venezia Giulia), is a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.
The beach faces south (191°). It is most sheltered when the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
