Trsteno Beach

The fine sandy beach of Trsteno is particularly popular with families. And it is easy to see why: the turquoise shallow waters are perfect for playing and splashing. Children love building castles in the fine beige sand that sticks like clay.

Because of its shallowness – it starts getting chest-deep after 200 meters or so – the Adriatic Sea warms up faster here and keeps the temperature for longer than in other places. Tourists also appreciate the beauty of this beach, its calm waters, and excellent snorkeling conditions, especially in off-season.

Trsteno Beach is only 50 meters long and about 10 meters wide, encouraging everyone to arrive early in peak summer to secure a space. A limited number of sun loungers and parasols are available for hire, and otherwise, beachgoers set their towel along the sand (there is a free section) or on the nearby rocks.

The beach is backed by lush greenery and small hills, your views are not obstructed by any vacation homes or other structures. There are two beach bars with sanitary facilities that unfortunately seem a bit dated.

The likes of kayaks and paddle boats are not available for hire. If you are looking for a larger beach with more water sports activities, you should consider going to Jaz Beach instead which lies in the neighboring bay.

The natural cove of Trsteno is a good spot to anchor a boat for the day with its sandy base. Just be careful not to get too close to the beach where it becomes very shallow. The nearest port with facilities is in Budva.

Trsteno Beach is easily accessed by the Adriatic coastal highway and following signs to Jaz and then Trsteno. It is only 8 kilometres from the bustling coastal town of Budva but world’s away in terms of its atmosphere. Free parking is available.
