The rugged coast selflessly provides pleasures for lovers of all types of bathing tourism. Rocky beaches are often hidden, and many can be reached only by boat, sailboat or scooter, enjoying the peace and privacy on this kind of beaches is guaranteed. Sandy beaches are ideal for family vacations, as well as for everyone staying in hotels and popular tourist centers. One of the sandy beaches is the beach Bečići, which received great recognition in 1935. It has been awarded for the most beautiful beach in Europe and the Grand Prize of Paris. After 30 years, it was also awarded the Golden Palm, as the most beautiful beach in the Mediterranean. Also prominent is the Great Ulcinj beach, 12 km long, which ends at the confluence of the river Bojana into the Adriatic Sea as well as a popular nudist resort. On the other side of the Montenegrin coast, the sea floods the surrounding mountains. Forever bound in the beauty of the Bay of Kotor, the cliffs and the sea, take the breath away of anyone who has had the opportunity to enjoy this symbiosis of perfection. Islands, peninsulas, luxury marinas, bays, diversity and size of beaches, the confluence of the river Bojana into the sea, the Bay of Kotor, make Montenegro an ideal coastal destination, adequate for all water sports or simply for enjoying all the senses.
