Budva beaches range from the two connected coves at Mogren to longer stretches at Jaz, Bečići and Sveti Stefan. Hotel Aleksandar is in Budva, so the city’s beaches and the wider Riviera are natural options to compare while planning time in the area.

  • Mogren I and II are connected by a tunnel and together measure 350 m.
  • Slovenian Beach is about 1.6 km long, according to the Montenegro National Tourism Organisation.
  • Bečići Beach is about 2 km from Budva.
  • Jaz is a public beach 3 km from Budva and measures 1.5 km.
  • Sveti Stefan’s beach has two parts, measuring 700 m and 400 m.
Mogren Beach and the coastal path

Mogren Beach and the coastal path

Mogren suits a beach day that pairs time by the water with a visit to Budva’s Old Town. Mogren I and Mogren II sit 150 m from the Old Town, and a tunnel connects the two coves.

The beaches have a combined length of 350 m, making them a more compact choice than the longer Riviera shorelines. You can combine the visit with a day exploring Budva Old Town rather than treating the beach and historic centre as separate outings.

Slovenska Plaza for a central beach day

Slovenska Plaza for a central beach day

Slovenska Plaza, also called Slovenian Beach, is a central Budva option with about 1.6 km of shoreline. The Montenegro National Tourism Organisation includes it among the popular beaches on the Budva Riviera, particularly in its overview of summer beach options.

Richard’s Head is another Budva beach, at about 150 m long. That gives you a smaller shoreline to compare with Slovenska Plaza’s longer stretch when choosing between the city’s beach options. Beach season is one part of planning a Budva visit; the calendar of events in Budva through the year covers another.

Bečići Beach along the Riviera

Bečići Beach along the Riviera

Bečići Beach is a longer Riviera option about 2 km from Budva. It regularly receives the Blue Flag award and was recognized as Europe’s best beach in 1935.

For a trip beyond the central beaches, buses to Sveti Stefan and Petrovac run year-round, with first departures at 06:00 and last departures at 01:30. Departure times can change, so check the official site before you go.

Jaz Beach for a broader shoreline

Jaz Beach for a broader shoreline

Jaz is a public beach 3 km from Budva, with a shoreline measuring 1.5 km. Its length makes it one of the broader stretches among the beaches compared here.

Jaz also appears on the Budva–Jaz–Trsteno–Ploče bus route. That route connects Budva with Ploče, so check the current schedule with Budva’s tourism organisation if you plan to use it.

Sveti Stefan coast and access checks

Sveti Stefan’s beach has two parts: a larger section measuring 700 m and a smaller section measuring 400 m. Sveti Stefan is among the popular beaches on the Budva Riviera.

The year-round bus routes to Sveti Stefan and Petrovac offer a way to reach this stretch without driving. Since departure information may change, confirm details with Budva’s tourism organisation before setting out.
