If you are planning an Eastern European-Balkans tour, Montenegro should definitely be on your bucket list.
The country is rich in history, beautiful towns and cultural attractions.
With miles of Adriatic Sea coastline, Montenegro has breathtakingly beautiful beaches that are often overlooked by tourists in favour of beaches in neighbouring countries.
The beaches are gorgeous, and they are ideal for a relaxing getaway away from the crowds.
Here is our list of the best beaches in Montenegro.

Queen’s Beach is less crowded than other Budva beaches because it is a private beach of the Aman Sveti Stefan Resort.
2. Plavi Horizonti, Radovici

This pebble beach can be reached by boat from Herceg Novi.

5. Lucice Beach, Petrovac
The gorgeous bay in Petrovac is a popular beach destination, therefore it can get crowded.
Lucice Beach’s clear blue water is calm and shallow, thus ideal for families with small children.

Lucice Beach is without a doubt the most picturesque in the Petrovac area, despite its small size.
