Short answer: yes — if you want a proper sandy beach and a full-service resort base, with Budva's old town and the Bay of Kotor on the doorstep. Bečići is a resort town on the Budva Riviera, about 3 km southeast of Budva, best known for its long, roughly 2 km sandy beach — one of the most celebrated in Montenegro. It's a developed, hotel-led resort, so whether it's "worth it" comes down to the kind of trip you want. Here's an honest breakdown. For the practicals, see our getting-here and best-time-to-visit guides.
Who Bečići is perfect for
- Beach holidaymakers. The long sandy beach — fine sand and gravel, well organised with loungers and service — is the main event, and one of Montenegro's finest. See the Riviera's best beaches.
- Resort-hotel travellers. Bečići is lined with beachfront hotels and resorts, from a five-star to all-inclusive family places — easy, everything-on-site holidays.
- Anyone who wants the beach and the buzz. A seaside promenade links Bečići to Budva old town (about 3 km), so you get a calm beach base with Budva's restaurants and nightlife a short walk or drive away.
- Day-trippers. Sveti Stefan, the Bay of Kotor, Lovćen and Skadar Lake are all within easy reach.
Who might prefer elsewhere
Bečići is honest about what it is:
- If you want an untouched, authentic fishing village, Bečići is a modern, purpose-built resort with large hotels — the quieter, old-village character is more at neighbouring Rafailovići or up the coast.
- If you want a historic old town of your own, that's Budva or Kotor, not Bečići — here the draw is the beach, not medieval walls.
- If you want peace and quiet in high summer, July and August are busy and package-y; May–June or September–October are calmer.
The honest verdict
Bečići is well worth it for a beach-and-resort holiday with the Budva Riviera's sights and nightlife on tap — an easy, sunny base that does the beach very well. It's less suited to travellers chasing untouched authenticity or a historic town of their own, which lie a short hop away in Budva, Kotor and the Bay. Many people base themselves here and day-trip out for the culture. See our things to do and practical info to plan it.
