The best thing about beaches in Montenegro is that there’s something for everyone. Are you looking for beaches with sun loungers to rent and high-end restaurants and bars nearby? Party beaches? Rugged natural beaches with crystal-clear water for swimming and snorkeling?

This beach has a section with fine sand, a rarity in this part of Montenegro, but most of the beach is comprised of small pebbles.
Jaz Beach is also home to Sea Dance Festival, a multi-day summer music festival that’s a ton of fun. (Though they’ve had their most recent festival in Croatia instead, it will…
