About Montenegro

Fine pebbly beaches, clear turquoise water and mountain landscapes - all this is magnificent Montenegro. Mountains and sea - a powerful mixture that takes the breath away from even the most sophisticated traveler! Please don't say we didn't warn you!

General information

The beaches of Montenegro are mostly small and located in cozy bays. Some places have hard-to-reach bays of a bizarre shape, provoking active travelers to explore them. An important clarification - most beaches do not have natural shade, as the vegetation is either too small or completely absent, so do not forget your sun umbrella and protective products.

Most beaches of Montenegro are located within settlements, usually more accessible and well equipped, but less picturesque. The latter does not apply to Montenegro because, despite a large number of city beaches, many still offer stunning views.
