I am a resident (and citizen) of the Montenegrin coast, dedicated to uncovering the authentic side of the Adriatic beyond the typical tourist brochures. Whether I’m exploring the Grbalj hinterlands for the best local produce or navigating the ancient alleys of Kotor’s Old Town, my guides are built on first-hand experience and a love for Montenegro’s complex history.

Kotor Beach Guide

While there are 117 beaches in Montenegro with a total length of 72 kilometers, Kotor seems to have got a raw deal. Due to its position at the outer end of the Bay of Kotor, there is little space for…

Jaz Beach Guide

Surface Sand & Fine Pebbles Access Flat / Easy Parking Vibe Lively & Social Sun Cover Full Day (Open Bay) The Local Verdict Jaz is Budva’s heavy hitter: vast, vibrant, and surprisingly versatile. While the central section is a social…

Best Beaches Bar Riviera

Canj Main Beach

Bar is a coastal standout, anchored by two massive stretches: the 750-meter City Beach and the pine-fringed, kilometer-long Žukotrlica (Šušanj). These central hubs offer everything from sun-drenched playgrounds to lively waterfront cafes overlooking the Adriatic. But the Riviera’s true magic…

Best Beaches Ulcinj

The sandy stretch of Long Beach (Velika Plaza), south of Ulcinj bordering albania

Ulcinj doesn’t just offer beaches; it offers two distinct worlds. To the south, the coast dissolves into miles of endless, fine-sand horizons. To the north, the landscape tightens into a series of hidden, gin-clear coves framed by low sandstone cliffs…

Best Beaches Tivat

Plavi Horizonti Beach near Tivat

Tivat may be famous for the super-yacht berths of Porto Montenegro, but its true coastal charm lies in the diverse collection of beautiful beaches tucked into the calm folds of the Boka Bay and the rugged Luštica Peninsula. While the…

Valdanos Beach Olive Grove

Valdanos Beach is an off-the-beaten-track, tranquil cove beach on the Ulcinj Riviera, with stunning views of the surrounding, centuries-old olive orchards. In Yugoslav times an armed forced recreation center, Valdanos today does not receive as many beachgoers as neighboring resorts…

Verige Beach Kamenari

Located at the narrowest point that connects the inner to the outer bay of Kotor, Verige Beach is a beautiful shingle strand offering you soothing, tranquil scenery and a small beach bar. Often overlooked by tourists heading to more mainstream…

Murici Beach Lake Skadar

Pebbly Murici Beach on the shores of Lake Skadar overlooking the mountains of Albania

Surface Beige Pebbles & Stones Access Challenging / Steep Drive Vibe Wild, Untouched & Silent Sun Cover Plentiful / Forest Shade The Local Verdict As a child of the Adriatic and a passionate open-water swimmer, I usually swear by the…

Utjeha Beach Guide

Utjeha Beach between Bar and Ulcinj

Surface White Pebbles & Rocks Access Easy / Car Park Vibe Emerald Serenity Highlight Snorkeling & Springs The Local Verdict Utjeha is my go-to when I need a “visual reset”: the contrast between the white pebbles and that specific neon-turquoise…

Best Beaches Budva

Budva didn’t just join the Mediterranean beach scene; it practically invented it in Montenegro. With over 35 kilometers of coastline ranging from the iconic pink pebbles of Sveti Stefan to hidden ‘boat-only’ island coves, the Budva Riviera is a world…
