Homes with a view of the Adriatic — from the terrace, from the garden or right from the breakfast table.
Mussels were once farmed here; today Pomer is known for its marina. The village has good restaurants, shops and a bakery, and in summer there is a village festival and classical concerts in the churches.
Beaches and activities
While Medulin is the area's tourist centre, with many beaches, campsites and marinas, life in much smaller Pomer is far quieter.
In the sheltered part of the bay, Pomer Beach begins below the ACI marina and runs along the campsite around the peninsula. Everyone finds a quiet spot in the sun or the shade of a pine, with entertainment and water sports on offer. Šćuza Beach has clear water and a unique view over the bay, plus a kiosk, sunloungers, parasols and water sports equipment.
Sights and excursions
Cape Kamenjak near Premantura is a favourite excursion, with its plants and wonderfully secluded beaches, a pleasant alternative to the lively Medulin Riviera. The Brijuni Islands are also worthwhile: this group of 14 islands became a national park in 1983, and boats leave from Fažana. The largest island, Veli Brijun, has hotels and a safari park.
Sights in and around Pomer recall its Roman, Byzantine and Venetian past, including the 11th-century church of St Flor with remains of frescoes in its apse. Remains of Roman summer villas and baths have been found in Medulin Bay and the Bay of Pomer, along with the maritime complex at Vižula.
History lovers should also visit nearby Medulin, with its archaeological sites, including a necropolis with several hundred graves near Vižula. Pula, about 7 km away and one of the oldest towns on the Adriatic, makes an ideal day trip, with its Roman amphitheatre, Temple of Augustus, Arch of the Sergii, castle, cathedral and Archaeological Museum.
