Beaches of Montenegro: an overview of the most popular holiday destinations
If outside the season all the beaches of Montenegro look alike, then with the beginning of the season, differences begin to manifest themselves more and more: some become too crowded, others become too dirty, and some even those at the same time. In order not to spoil your impression of the country, having visited a couple of the most unsuccessful beaches, you need to carefully approach the choice. Let's try to orient you to the most popular beaches of the country.
So, the beaches of Montenegro in the summer season. Where to go?
Traditionally, most tourists among our compatriots prefer to rest on the Budva Riviera, which is convenient and its location (it's practically the center of the coast) and numerous beaches for every taste. In addition, Budva is perhaps one of the few cities in the country where there is a good choice of hotels of any level. But it will be fair if we consider the advantages and disadvantages of most of the most popular beaches in Montenegro.
Moghren Beach
This is the central beach of Budva, which is located behind the old city and has every right to be considered one of the most beautiful in appearance, opening from it to the fortress. But it does not shine with convenience, because it has small dimensions, and at the peak of the season there are very, very many people on it. Sunset in the sea is quite comfortable and even. The water is clean and calm, as the beach is in a small bay and is surrounded on three sides by rocks. A great choice if you live in Budva and do not have a car.
Yaz Beach
A popular place, if only because there are periodically held music festivals, and the beach itself is quite good. Small pebbles do not allow the formation of suspensions, and the water is always clean and transparent. The beach is always full of tourists, but the line behind the sun beds does not line up. From Budva to it shuttle buses and buses, but it will be much more comfortable to go there by car. In the "popular" rating "the beaches of Montenegro" is consistently in the first place.
Ploce Beach
Near Yaz, slightly to the right, is located one of the most comfortable and beautiful beaches - Ploče. Enormous free parking, plenty of secluded places where you can rent an inexpensive lounger with an umbrella, three pools of different depths - all this will not leave you indifferent. Waiters bring the order directly to your lounger, and the prices are very humane. Since the beach is located in the mountains, there is no question of any sand - there is stone and concrete all around, but the water is incredibly clean. I advise you to take a mask with a tube there and look for different marine life near the shore: fish and octopuses.
Colardovo Beach
A small sandy beach near the airport of Tivat. A cozy quiet place with a good restaurant and free parking. Its main advantage is location. You can pass there an hour or two before departure or, on the contrary, in anticipation of the arrival of an aircraft, which must meet. This is especially true in the season, when due to traffic jams to the airport you need to go with a lot of time. And you can enjoy the flight of aircraft near you - they will fly over your head at a height of only a few hundred meters! The waves are not perfect, so the water warms up very quickly. If your goal is to visit the unusual beaches of Montenegro, Kolardovo you will like.
Plavy Beach Horizon
Looking for Montenegro beaches, ideal for scuba diving? Plavi Horizon is for you. A stunningly beautiful beach where you can swim with a mask and snorkel. Snorkling there is beautiful. Many species of fish and beautiful reefs at depth, of course, are far from the corals of the Red Sea, but believe me - here too, there is something to see. Convenient inexpensive parking (3 euros / day) with the ability to enter and leave on a receipt during the day at any time. The main feature of the beach is a beautiful and large bay, which can be rounded along the shore and descended into the water directly from the rocks (on both sides the rocks are equipped with a lot of stairs). The beach itself is sandy and very clean. Since there is no current in the bay, sometimes the water near the shore starts to bloom, but you can always go into the water from the rocks. There is a free site under the wide crowns of trees, where even on a hot midday it will be cool and comfortable.
Petrovac Beach
A small nice beach, from which you can make an inexpensive excursion by boat to the island of Sveti Stefan. Petrovac - the owner, probably, one of the most beautiful and wide embankments in the country, with a lot of cafes and shops. The city itself leaves a good impression, and its only drawback - it's uncomfortable parking, and their complete absence near the embankment. Still, some beaches in Montenegro become too noisy precisely because of the mass of positive qualities.
Sutomore Beach
Outside the season, this is a quiet, sleepy place with a wide pebble beach and sunsets of incredible beauty, a great place for photography and picnics. In the season everything changes dramatically in the opposite direction: a lot of people, a crush on the embankment, a pretty dirty beach and dirty water, sometimes with garbage and leftover food. An inconvenient approach to the sea - along the way there are large boulders and slippery stones. City buses leaving Sutomore to the Bar are usually crowded, and visiting this beach does not promise anything positive and pleasant, unless you come there at 6 am, when there are no people, the city is not in traffic jams, and the water is still relatively clean. in general, the list of "the best beaches in Montenegro" include it definitely not worth it.
Beach Bar
Port city, respectively, under the beach allocated not so much space - from the port to virtually exit from the city. Large and small pebbles in aggregate with sand, little showers and cabins for changing clothes, but excellent cafes and ice cream makers on a wide and beautiful embankment. The free beaches are sold out, but you can always find a place. I will not say that the water is crystal clear, but there is almost no household waste and waste. The embankment from the main part of the city is separated by a busy street without traffic lights, which sometimes causes some inconvenience. Closer to the end of the city there is a plot with spreading trees, under which you can comfortably and completely free of charge on your own rug.
Ulcinj Beach
City Beach. The very case when the small beaches of Montenegro can hardly accommodate a huge number of people who want to settle there. At the same time, water is recognized by experts as not the best for bathing, therefore, the only thing for which you can go there is an incredibly tasty ice cream opposite the beach at 50 cents per horn. Blue with coconut.
Velika Plage Beach
Since you went to Ulcinj for tasty ice cream, move a little further, and you will find yourself on the biggest beach in Montenegro - Velika Plage. Its length is 13 kilometers. This is the only fully sandy beach of this size, but this is not its main advantage. Because of the winds, it is ideal for kite surfing and many other entertainments, besides, there is the only kite station in the country. The wind begins approximately from a dinner and does not cease till the late night, creating sometimes rather impressive waves. Clean beaches with comfortable showers and locker rooms, cafes and restaurants on the beach - Veliku Plage can be safely sent to the top positions in the "Best beaches of Montenegro" rating. As the beach is completely sandy, there is a suspension in the water, but this does not mean that it is dirty - just the bottom is not visible already at a depth of several meters. By the way, here you can ride a water scooter, which is why you need to be very careful here and not swim for buoys. The only negative aspect of the summer season is the nightly traffic jams in the direction of Ulcinj, but I hope that this collapse will be successfully resolved in the near future.
