The spacious and well-maintained coast brings a special vibe to the beauty of Montenegro, and some of its beaches are simply not to be missed
The coast of Montenegro is almost 300 kilometers long, and in summertime represents the center of entertainment, cultural, musical and film-related events, as well as international competitions. The coast, which consists of over 100 beaches, extends to the ever-dynamic Budva, labyrinth city – Kotor, city of artists – Herceg Novi, city of secluded bays and beautiful magnolias – Tivat, city of vast sandy expanses – Ulcinj, and the gateway of Montenegro into the world – the city of Bar.
Oblatno Beach
The Tivat Riviera consists of 17 well-maintained beaches. Youth love the comfortable Oblatno Beach because of the excellent gigs during summer. It is situated in a restricted area on the peninsula of Luštica and four years ago it was awarded the Blue Flag, an international accolade for exceptionally clean, quality water and well-maintained beaches. The beach is covered with fine sand and it is stylized, so you can see luxurious lounge chairs with canopies there. Oblatno belongs to the Almara Beach Club.
Jaz Beach
The Budva Riviera consists of 35 sandy beaches, and it is home to one of the longest and prettiest beaches in Montenegro – Jaz Beach, located 2.5 km from Budva in the direction of Tivat.

Concerts that have been held here include those by the cult band Rolling Stones and the ever-famous Madonna. With a view of the clear blue sea, the beach is partly sandy, partly pebbly, while behind it there is an auto- camp site of a large capacity.
