Known by its English moniker as much as any other, Queen's Beach (or Kralijčina Praža to give it its true name) takes its title from the fact the penultimate Queen Consort of Yugoslavia, Marija, had a summer palace here.
Surrounded by thick forest and well-maintained parkland, the white sand and drinking-water clear waters of Queen's Beach are shaded for much of the day by cypress and olive trees. Sheltered by light-coloured rocks, the bay is calm enough for swimming without undue concern, particularly given the summer months see water… read more »
Located a stone's throw from the pleasant little resort town of Petrovac is Buljarica beach. One of the longest beaches in all Montenegro, it stretches for nearly 2.5 kilometres.
With so much space it should in theory be easy enough to find a patch of sand to throw down your towel. Whilst this is true it does mean heading towards the southern end of the beach during the summer season as the end nearest to Petrovac is invariably busy.
During the holiday season the contrast between the two ends of Buljarica… read more »
A popular summer spot on the Budva Riviera, Petrovac is a charming little town wrapped around a cove. The beachfront has a few newer apartment buildings but largely retains the old stone buildings that are quite charming. This is a more relaxing and upmarket holiday spot than other resorts on the coast, with fewer clubs and beach parties; it is a place to come and relax as you take in the beauty of the Adriatic coast.
The beach is nestled in a small bay and stretches for nearly 800 meters from… read more »
Murvica Beach can be found on the island of Brac, and offers white sands and picture postcard views towards the island of Hvar.

To reach Murvica visitors then need to follow the steep path down the cliff. Though only 150 metres long by approximately five… read more »
Beloved of locals, Pasjača Beach sits below the village of Popovići in Konavle municipality, approximately 12 kilometres from the town of Cavtat and 30 kilometres south of much more famous Dubrovnik.
A man made construction formed in 1955 or thereabouts, Pasjaca Beach is only small, but was still named the best beach in Europe in 2019.
To reach it and discover the magic for yourself, you will need to follow the path along steps and through tunnels carved into the cliff, descending around 200 metres in all. There is a car… read more »
Kotor is said to be the most picturesque town in Montenegro. Set at the head of a deep fjord-like bay the old town is a jumble of red roofs and elegant towers. Behind are towering limestone hills whilst in front are the calm, green-blue waters of Kotor Bay.
The area in front of the old town is occupied by the marina and quay where huge cruise ships are something of a permanent feature. A little way north of here you will find Kotor beach, a fairly modest strip of shingle and… read more »
