This is a lovely waterfront on paths headed south from Portorož, around the marina and along the Jerneja Canal. Up to 6 km one-way. It can be combined with the paths headed north to Piran and the paths around the salt flats in Krajinski Natural Park.
Canal Path. Google Street View
From Portorož, start with a quick jaunt out the pier and then head south along the paved waterfront path for 2 km. Great views winding your way around the harbour and marina. Then there’s a short, hilly on-road section, before picking up a waterfront path again around the Parenzana sports complex. At the 4 km mark, continue east along the Jerneja Canal for 2 km to the highway and a parking lot for Krajinski Park. It’s a pretty, traffic-free road with nice water views and lots of boats!
Add-Ons: At the end of the canal path, continue on the paths around the salt flats of Krajinski Natural Park. And/or combine with waterfront path headed north for 4.2 km to Piran and then another 1.6 km to Fiesa Lake.

Gorgeous waterfront route between Portorož and Piran, nearly all on a dedicated promenade. Great views of the Adriatic, monuments, marinas, and beaches. Good options for longer waterfront run.
Beautiful run on paths around 700-year-old salt pans. Great views, birds, and rare plants. Can combine with paths along the Jerneja Canal, and waterfront paths to Portorož.
For another running option in the Portorož area, there are some nice paths in Strunjan. We've put together a route combining a loop around the harbour, the nature reserve around the salt flats, and then some more rugged paths out to Park Strunjan.
Some very nice waterfront running in the old fishing town of Izola. We've put together a route showcasing the piers and path around the mraina, and another route on a paved waterfront path east to Koper. Can be combined!
