When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.2/10 with highs of 27 °C, sea at 25.0 °C and 44 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Montenegro in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 19.1 °C, warmer than 54% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (194 mm) and July the driest (44 mm); the yearly total is about 1,420 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.1 hours in December to 15.3 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:20 and sets at 20:20 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south (185°). Open water fills about 28% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 239° to 303°, behind the land.
Straight out to the south about 1,200 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 17 m deep and 51 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 185 m above sea level 500 m inland and 180 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 87% tree cover, 5% built-up land and 3% shrubland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 45% of that circle.
- Tree 87%
- Built 5%
- Shrub 3%
- Grass 3%
