The best beaches in Montenegro

The beaches in Montenegro are considered one of the cleanest and most well-groomed in Europe. There are a huge number of them here and for every taste: sandy and stony, with small pebbles and large boulders, wild and fashionable. Their great advantage is that almost all of them belong to the state - there are practically no private beaches in Montenegro.

If you look at the map of the Montenegrin coast, you can see that it is all indented with small cozy coves. They often have spontaneous nudist beaches. The coating on them is usually pebble, the entrance to the sea is not very convenient, and there are no amenities. But you can enjoy the silence, swim for your own pleasure and get a gorgeous tan without traces of a swimsuit.

One of these places is the Galia beach in the area of ​​St. Stephen. Another wild beach is on the island of Ada Bojana. The dress code rules are strictly observed here - sunbathing in clothes is not only not recommended, but even prohibited. It is considered bad form to spy on other vacationers.
