The Adriatic Sea, which washes the coasts of Montenegro, is considered the cleanest in Europe. And the beaches in the country are mostly free, yet varied and really picturesque. There are small and cozy beaches, hidden between the cliffs as well as spacious ones that may be several kilometers long, with beautiful seaside landscapes. There are some beaches wrapped in concrete, having stairs to the water. Pebbled, mixed and sandy, equipped and wild. The total length of the beaches in Montenegro is over 70 kilometers. When travelling around the country by car, you can discover new places for swimming at least once a day.
On the Lustica peninsula, in the bay of Přzno, there is a sandy Plavi Horizonti beach. This beach won the annual Blue Flag World Honorary Award, for its clean water, safety, and developed beach infrastructure. It has a cozy slope it is comfortable for swimming with children. Plavi Horizonti is not just a place to swim and sunbathe; it also has hiking paths in the shade of Mediterranean pines, olives, and other southern trees. This beautiful park is also adjacent to the beaches of Sveti Stefan resort, near Budva, on the shore of the Budvan Riviera.

The beaches in Ulcinj are also regularly awarded with the Blue Flag. They all part of the huge Velika Plaža beach area, stretching for 13 kilometers. The smooth coastline without coves and bays makes this place ideal for surfing — the wind always blows here, bringing the waves.
