Bečići sits on the Budva Riviera, Montenegro's busiest and most beach-rich stretch of Adriatic coast. Its own beach is the reason the town became a resort in the first place — and from it a whole string of famous bays lies within a short drive or walk. Here are the best beaches within easy reach. For how to reach the town, see our getting-to-Bečići guide.
Bečići Beach — the long sandy sweep
Bečići Beach is the heart of the resort: at roughly 2 km, it's the longest beach on the Budva Riviera, a broad run of fine sand and gravel — a genuine rarity on a Montenegrin coast that is mostly pebble and shingle, which is much of why it built Bečići's reputation and anchors its summer season. It carries a Blue Flag for water quality, is well organised with loungers and beach service through the season, and its gentle shore makes it a reliable family choice. Being right in front of town, it is the easiest beach day you'll have here — walk out and you're on it.
Rafailovići — the fishing corner next door
Follow the sand about 1 km north and Bečići runs into Rafailovići, a former fishing settlement that grew into an intimate corner of the Riviera while keeping its harbour and family-run tavernas. The two share effectively one continuous beachfront, so you can stroll from the big resort beach to the quieter, more characterful end and have lunch by the boats.
Sveti Stefan — the iconic island
About 5 km south lies Sveti Stefan, the fortified 15th-century fishing village turned luxury island resort — one of the most photographed sights on the Adriatic. The islet itself is a private resort, but the beaches on the mainland either side are the postcard spot, with the stone village framed across the water. Well worth the short trip down the coast for a swim and the view.
Budva's shore & beyond
About 3 km north, Budva Old Town has its own beaches right by the medieval walls and marina, plus the Riviera's liveliest bar-and-club scene. Further out, the Bay of Kotor — around 30–40 minutes by road — trades open-sea beaches for calm, fjord-like swimming coves beneath the mountains.
