Discover the 5 best beaches in Montenegro for sunbathing and enjoyment

Montenegro is a small country with enormous potential for summer holidays. This Adriatic beauty offers an incredible mix of mountain ranges, medieval towns, and turquoise sea washing over some of the most stunning beaches in the Mediterranean. As we’ve previously explored the five best beaches for nudists, those hidden corners of freedom for people who see summer as a return to nature in its purest form, now it’s time to turn to those who may not want to leave their comfort zone, yet still dream of the perfect coastline, soothing shade, soft sand, and crystal-clear water.

We present five of Montenegro’s most beautiful beaches, ideal for families, couples, and anyone seeking a blend of comfort and natural spectacle.

First on our list is Mogren Beach, located right next to the Old Town of Budva. In fact, it’s made up of two coves connected by a narrow passage through the rocks, which adds a unique charm. This beach is a favorite among photographers thanks to its dramatic scenery, but also popular with swimmers who want to stay close to the urban center while still feeling immersed in nature. Crystal-clear waters, smooth stones, and the sound of pine trees rustling from the cliffs above make Mogren the perfect balance between raw beauty and modern convenience.

A little further west, yet still close to Budva, lies the spacious Jaz Beach. Stretching nearly a mile and a half, Jaz is the go-to destination for those who enjoy a lively atmosphere, music festivals, and a dynamic daily rhythm. During the day, there’s plenty of room for peaceful sunbathing, while the evenings often turn into open-air parties under the stars. Those who prefer a quieter setting can simply head to the calmer end of the beach, where gentle waves lull the shoreline and create an almost meditative vibe.

Just a few minutes’ drive from Budva lies Bečići Beach, stretching nearly two kilometers and known for its fine sand and cleanliness. Here you’ll find everything you need for a classic day by the sea: sun loungers, umbrellas, water sports, and excellent restaurants tucked just behind the beach. Bečići is one of the rare places in Montenegro that has received international recognition for its beauty, and its popularity shows no signs of fading.

If you’re looking for a more peaceful spot, take a turn into the cove of Plavi Horizonti, located on the Luštica Peninsula, not far from Tivat. This beach offers everything a family with children might need, shallow waters, soft sand, natural shade, and exceptionally clean sea. Framed by pines and olive trees, Plavi Horizonti feels almost secluded, even though it’s easily accessible. Many say it’s the most comfortable beach in Montenegro for spending an entire day without stress.

And last, but by no means least, is Lučice, a cove near Petrovac that offers a more tranquil atmosphere surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation. The sea here is crystal-clear and turquoise, while the rustling of cypress and pine trees accompanies every step toward the water. There are no large hotels or noisy beach bars, just a few discreet establishments, some loungers, and a peaceful silence broken only by the rhythm of the waves.

And if you’re someone who loves vast open spaces and that feeling of endless horizon, then you simply can’t miss Velika Plaža (Long Beach) in Ulcinj, the longest sandy beach in the entire Adriatic region. Stretching over 13 kilometers along the southeastern coast, it offers more than enough room for everyone, whether you’re seeking solitude and serenity or craving adventure like kite-surfing or riding quad bikes through the dunes.

So what are you waiting for? Pack your swimsuit, grab some sunscreen, and set off to discover the magic of Montenegro’s coastline. Because each of these beaches holds a story—one that’s waiting for you to live it.
