The beach, the promenade and the coast at Bečići — plus the coves and the walled towns of the Budva Riviera, almost all within an easy walk or a short drive.
Bečići is a beach resort, not a museum town — its sights are the shoreline and the coast. The long sandy beach and the seaside promenade are the heart of it, with the fishing village of Rafailovići at one end and Budva's Old Town a short walk the other way. First time here? Start with these three.
A long, roughly 2 km sweep of fine sand and gravel that shelves gently into the Adriatic — the reason most people come.
A flat waterfront walk linking Bečići with Rafailovići one way and Budva Old Town the other — the town's evening ritual.
The little fishing village at the far end of the bay, its seafood konobas built right at the water's edge.
Looking further afield? Budva Old Town (~3 km) and Sveti Stefan (~5 km) are the closest historic sights, and the Bay of Kotor is under an hour away — see our day trips.
Bečići's long crescent of fine sand and gravel is one of Montenegro's best-known beaches — a broad, gently shelving strand backed by resort hotels and a seafront promenade, with clear Adriatic water below the coastal mountains.
A small former fishing village at the northern end of Bečići Beach, where wooden boats still moor off a compact harbour lined with seafood konobas and terraces right at the water's edge.
A tiny fortified islet of terracotta-roofed stone houses joined to the mainland by a narrow isthmus — once a fishing village, now an exclusive resort and one of the most photographed sights on the Montenegrin coast.
Budva's walled old town is a maze of narrow marble lanes, churches and squares on a small peninsula, ringed by Venetian-era ramparts you can walk for views over the Adriatic.
A UNESCO World Heritage walled town at the head of a dramatic fjord-like bay, its medieval streets climbing to fortifications high on the mountainside above the water.
Combine the beach with the town's seafood and a day trip or two — Budva Old Town, Sveti Stefan, or the Bay of Kotor.
Bečići Beach itself — a long, roughly 2 km sweep of fine sand and gravel — is the main draw, together with the seaside promenade that runs along it. Walk the promenade to the fishing village of Rafailovići for seafood, or over the headland to the quieter cove of Kamenovo. Budva's walled Old Town and the islet of Sveti Stefan are both a short trip away.
Not in the town itself — Bečići is a modern beach resort, and its appeal is the sand, the sea and the promenade rather than old buildings. For history, head to Budva's medieval walled Old Town, about 3 km along the coast, or the fortified islet of Sveti Stefan, about 5 km south.
Yes. Bečići Beach is a long stretch of fine sand and small gravel that shelves gently into the Adriatic, which makes it popular with families. It is one of Montenegro's most celebrated beaches and has long been praised for the quality of its sand.
A day or two is enough for the beach, the promenade walk to Budva or Rafailovići, and a swim at Kamenovo. Add a day or more for day trips to Sveti Stefan, the Bay of Kotor, and Lovćen or Skadar Lake.
They sit at opposite ends of the same bay. Bečići is the resort strip with its long beach and large hotels; Rafailovići is the smaller, quieter fishing village at the far end, known for konobas serving seafood right at the water's edge. The promenade connects the two on foot.
The beach, the coves of the Budva Riviera, and the walled towns a short trip away.
