Transfer

The lighthouse Rt Zub can be reached by an asphalted road, which leads directly to the facility. When driving the regional road Novigrad - Poreč you will reach the place called Tar. Make a turn towards the Lanterna peninsula and you can drive directly to the lighthouse. In front of it, there is a parking place for guests.


Notes

Rt Zub lies near several hotels and sport facilities so lighthouse guests do not have their own private beach inaccessible to others, but share the beach, swim and sunbathe together with other visitors.


Provisions

Since Rt Zub lies only 13 km away from Poreč and Novigrad, and nearby Tar lies half way between, lighthouse guests do not have to bring groceries and make food stocks. There are fresh fruit, vegetables and fish on local markets and the rest is available in stores and shopping malls.


Beaches

The lighthouse lies only 10 m from the sea, it is surrounded by greenery and there are several nicely decorated stone and pebble beaches around it. Not only do beautiful pebble and stone beaches stretch directly in front the lighthouse, they are to be found in two nearby bays Tarska and Lunga. The beaches are suitable for families because parents can overlook their children's play from apartment windows.



Interesting to know

Local residents retell a legend about cape Zub (tooth) and its unusual name. The legends has it that the wife of a local fisherman stood on a rock near the lighthouse waiting for her husband who went to the sea with his boat. However, when the husband landed the shore again, he looked at his wife in disbelief who was standing in front of him smiling and showing her beautiful new teeth. Since then the rock on cape Lanterna has been called cape tooth (rt Zub) and has been associated with magical powers. Even today in Novigrad there are many people who know this unusual story.
