What you will see

  • Boat views of Budva.
  • Island coves and swimming.
  • Different perspective on the Riviera.

History

Known locally as Hawaii, the island forms a striking natural screen in front of Budva and is visited mainly for swimming and scenery.

Visitor tips

  1. 1

    Bring water shoes where the shore is pebbly, plus drinking water, sun protection and a bag for all rubbish.

  2. 2

    Combine this stop with other places around Budva rather than adding unnecessary cross-country driving on the same day.

  3. 3

    Keep some cash available, protect valuables, and use only clearly authorised parking, guides, boats or activity providers.

  4. 4

    Do not follow an automatic road route to a mountain, boat or trail destination unless the final entrance, trailhead or terminal has been verified.
