We had to start with beach just around corner. It is comprised of two smaller sandy beaches connected by a tunnel. There is the Spas hill in the hinterland, with lush Mediterranean vegetation, whose scent gently descends onto the beach with its crystal clear water. It is located 300 metres from the Old Town, and can be reached by a concrete pedestrian pathway. It was named after the Spanish mariner,Mogrini, who was, according to oral tradition, washed ashore there after a shipwreck. To express his gratitude, he built a church dedicated to St Anton on theMogren beach. It faces south and is protected from the northern, eastern and western winds, bathed in sunlight from the early morning hours, while the sunset comes earlier. It is one of the most attractive and most exclusive beaches of the Adriatic coast. The beach is 350 metres long and covers an area of 4,500 square metres.
The largest island of the southern part of the Adriatic, which is known as Skolj among the locals, is less than a kilometre away from Budva and has three sandy beaches. Tourists from Budva and the surrounding beaches come to the island by boat from port. The small beaches on the south side of the island, situated under the cliffs, can only be reached by small boats. The island is covered in Mediterranean vegetation, has many secluded coves, which generally makes it attractive for excursions, young, and not so young, couples and adventurers.

It is located in front of the typical coastal hamlet sharing the same name, which used to be a fishing village. It is sandy and partially rocky. The beach faces the west, and is illuminated by the sun until sunset, which is the reason why many swimmers come to this beach.

Around the “Milocer” Hotel, built 80 years ago as a summer resort of the Yugoslav dynasty, and communist leader Tito, for decades a garden of exotic trees and flowers has emerged, a green-flowered oasis in the heart of the exclusive Sveti Stefan (Saint Stephen’s)-Miločer tourist zone. Lebanon’s cedar, eucalyptus, tropical mimosa, Japanese medlar, cactus, agave, pithospora… with local Mediterranean plants and flowers, have been a must-see for tourists and tourists from all over the world for decades.

It is located in a secluded cove, a little farther away from the road leading from Sveti Stefan to Petrovac, which makes it more accessible from the sea. The yellow and white colour of its sand, in combination with small pebbles, makes it look like tropical beach, while its hinterland with olive groves and Mediterranean vegetation adds the epithet “wild”. There is a source of fresh water on the beach, and Drobnipijesak is a favourite picnic spot for both tourists and locals.
