The beautiful word Riviera means coast in Italian, and brings to mind Mediterranean seaside vacation places. One of them is in the area of the city of Bar. Bar riviera has diverse culture and history, as well as amazing nature and endless sport activities. Some beaches here are large and popular, while others are tiny and deserted. We will tell about the most interesting places.

Crvena plaža

In a small bay between Bar and Sutomore rolls the Red Beach — Crvena plaža. The incredible combination of turquoise sea water, green pine trees and red pebbles — hence the name — creates a special atmosphere here.

The beach is tiny, only 50 meters (54 yards) long. This picturesque place is ideal for those who prefer a relaxing and quiet holiday.

Čanj

Located in a small village of the same name between Sutomore and Petrovac, the Čanj beach has a second name Pearl beach because of an unusual form of its pebbles. It is quite long, 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles) length and beautifully framed by eucalyptus and cypress trees. There are many cafes and playgrounds for children, and the coast guard is on duty.

Kraljeva plaža

This unique beach can only be reached by the sea from the village of Čanj. Once a favorite holiday place of the royal family of Montenegro, the beach is surrounded by cliffs and has a romantic and calm atmosphere, but offers all the necessary infrastructure: lounge chairs, changing rooms, bathrooms and a restaurant.

Beogradska plaža

On the coastal strip between Sutomore and Shushan, lays a tiny rocky beach, a cozy and calm place away from touristic sites. Despite its remote location, the beach has all the equipment, longer chairs, umbrellas, parking and cafe.

Šušanj

Located in a small town of the same name, Šušanj Plaza is well suited for the family holiday. Ancient pines are guarding the beach from wind, water is warmer here, and all the infrastructure is in place.

Štrbina

Untouched nature, clear water, small pebbles and healing blue clay make this beach, which lies in the western part of Sutomore, truly amazing. It also has the necessary beach infrastructure, cafes and parking.

Sutomore

The large and popular public beach in seaside town of Sutomore. It has promenades, playgrounds, shops and myriad of cafes and bars.

Žukotrlica

You can not miss picturesque pebbled beach of Žukotrlica, the sea is fascinating and calling through the branches of stately pines. The smell of sea air mixed with divine aroma of pines and eucalyptus will give you comfort and tranquility.

Topolica

Pebble beach Topolitsa is one of the most popular in Bar. It is located in the very center of the city embankment, and features even an amusement park and a stadium, as well as multiple cafes and restaurants. You can easily spend the whole vacation here.

Zlatna Obala

The beach belongs to the hotel Zlatna Obala — Golden Coast — but this does not prevent anyone from entering its territory. And of course, it has sunbeds, umbrellas, cabanas etc

Veliki Pijesak

In the southern part of the Bar Riviera, in the village of Dobra Voda, rolls Veliki Pesak, 600 meters (0.4 miles) of small pebbles mixed with sand. This is a very quiet, peaceful and romantic beach with clear turquoise seawater and unforgettable sunsets.

Utjeha

Ancient olive trees along the shore ... Blue creeks running to the sea ... Water of incredible cerulean color... This is not a dream, but a real beach at the Maslina Bay, 14 kilometers (9 miles) away from Bar.

The beach is quite spacious — 800 meters (0.5 miles), has many cafes and restaurants, and the southern part belongs to nudists.

Nudist Beach

The tiny stone beach is located, as we mentioned above, at the southern part of the popular Utjeha Beach. Huge rocks hide the sun lovers from prying eyes and there are umbrellas and loungers.

Rocky Beach

For nearly two decades, Rocky Beach has been a main attraction of the village of Utjeha. This is a place for young people, active, expressive, ready to have fun all night. A restaurant with 100 seats, a bar with 1000 seats and two pools allow you to have a great party right on the Adriatic coast.

Uvala Bigovica

Behind the Volujac mountain hides a small cozy pebble beach. There is no infrastructure here, this place is for diving enthusiasts — a quiet bay used to be a winter spot for sailing ships, and the divers hope to find fragments of sunken ships and artefacts at the sea bottom.
