Beaches From Boka to Budva
The Adriatic coast of Montenegro is 293 kilometers long. Of this stretch 73 kilometers are beaches. Some are only a few meters long and accessible by boat. Others go as far as the eye can see, the longest at almost 13 kilometers. Some are only small concrete platforms. Others consist of coarse gravel and a few of fine sand. Most of the beaches are managed by the Budva based company “Morsko Dobro”. The blue and red signs point out even hidden beaches that are not easy to find.

1.
Njivice is the westernmost beach in Montenegro, only a few hundred metersfrom the Croatian border, below the Hotel Riva. The main part is reserved for nudists.
2.
Igalo/Herceg Novi: The Riviera there is about 25 kilometers long. There are deserted gravel beaches as well as real “tourist grills”.
3.
Perast has a small concrete platform a hundred meters outside of town. Quiet.
4.
Tivat offers from small gravel stretches to concrete platforms, a total of 31,000 square meters of beaches.
5.
Kalazdovo: The well maintained gravel beach is near the airport on the Prevlaka peninsula.
6.
Mirista: From turquoise to deep blue, the water in the bay is a symphony of colors. For many Montenegrins this is the most beautiful beach in the country, but it’s not that easy to get to. From Tivat it’s a half hour drive. A must see is the Blue Cave, an up to 30 meter high hollow on the water.
7.
Blue Horizon is the translated name of the bay on which there is also a major hotel complex. Cool pine forests offer shade, fine gravel, restaurants.
8.
Trsteno is small and family friendly. The 200 meter long gravel beach runs vapidly into the water. The bay is well protected from wind and waves. Simple restaurant.

Budva to Bar

9.
Jaz is one of the best known beaches in Montenegro, of sand and gravel. In the 800 meter stretch, 300 meters are reserved for nudists. On the western end are beach chairs, restaurants and cafes.
10.
Mogren I and II: Legend says this beach was named after a Spanish sailor, Mogrinj, who was stranded here once with his ship.
11.
Becici beach, almost two kilometers long, is one of the longest beaches on the Budvanska Riviera. To find a quiet spot during the high season is almost impossible.
12.
Sveti Stefan: The western part is reserved for hotel guests, the eastern section is open to the public. A short walk in the direction of Budva brings you to the beaches of Milocer (King's Beach) and Przno. In between is the Queen's Beach.
13.
Drobni Pijesak: This beach of gravel and sand is still sort of hidden.
14.
Petrovac with its 600 meter long beach offers everything at once: sand, clear water, a fishing village, hotels, restaurants and shops. Everything is nearby.
15.
Buljarica, the beach with the green hinterland, is still spared from giant hotel buildings. Only bungalows and camping grounds attract the tourists. But that doesn't mean that the 2200 meter long beach is quiet. Sometimes there is a problem with the landfill that is just a few kilometers above the beach.
16.
Canj: The gravel on the sea bottom gave the beach the name "Pearl Beach". A rocky mountain nose divides the 1800 meter long stretch, which is calculated to fit 9000 people.
17.
Sutormore: Three hundred years ago Venetian nobles enjoyed this beach. Today, several thousand seek it out every day for a refreshing time. This isn't a beach though for those who are looking for a quiet time.
18.
Bar: Utjeha is the town beach and is easy to access. Accordingly it gets crowded.

.
Valdanos is probably the best protected beach on the Adriatic. The bay is normally used by the army and is open to the public only during the high season.
20.
Small Beach or Town Beach: Some people say that it is impossible to see the water during the high season because of all the tourists. In the other months this 360 meter long stretch of sand is one of the most beautiful in the area.
21.
"Velika Plaza" means "big beach" and it is. With its 12.5 kilometers it is the longest one along the Adriatic, but also one of the most popular. Private resorts like the Tropicana (sign on the main road) offer a comfortable oasis in the crowds.
22.
Ada Bojana: In the 1970's it was the island in middle of the Bojana river on the border of Albania, and a favorite place for nudists. That is, at least during the main season, still the case, but the place is not that crowded anymore.
