Hotel beaches are usually situated next to the hotels and in the very town. Tivat beaches, which in their names have the names of capes or islands, are several kilometers away from the town. If you’re staying in a hotel, we assume that you will rest on the hotel beaches, but if you wish to experience a true adventure then our suggestion would be to visit beaches “Plavi horizonti” (Blue horizons) or the beach on the Island Sveti Marko (St. Marko). Using your own car, taxi ride or tourist boat or barge, which are anchored in the Tivat port you can come to the beach “Plavi horizonti” or the beach “Przno” as the local people call it. The beach “Plavi horizonti” is considered to be the most attractive beach on the Montenegrin coast. It is situated in the south part of the Tivat bay. It is in the open sea, and immediately next to it is the hotel “Plavi horizonti”. Very small sand in which the beach “Plavi horizonti” abounds in is suitable for the healing of the rheumatic disorder, so recently the beach is even more interesting to numerous swimmers.

Considering the fact that the beach is spread over 8.500 m2, of very attractive space, beside the usual beach equipment (parasols, easy chairs, showers…) visitors are offered with special plateaus on the rocks. On those plateaus usually rest tourists who like a more discrete atmosphere. The beach “Plavi horizonti” is naturally sheltered from the winds. The great number of parks and a pine forest, which provides ideal conditions for camping, surrounds it. Numerous domestic and foreign tourists thrilled with their staying and with the conditions on the beach, from year to year have made the beach “Plavi horizonti” turn into a famous Tivat and Montenegrin vacation area.

The second beach that you must visit is the beach on the Island Sveti Marko or the Island Stradioti, as it used to be called. Today it is a mysterious green island, situated in the south channel of the Tivat bay. In 1962. on the island a tourist lodgment with 500 Tahiti houses, without water and electricity, were made. The Island of Sveti Marko, for decades was an exclusive facility under the lease of the French club “Mediteranee”. Until the war broke out on the territory of the former SFRJ – in 1991., the guests of the island were mostly young people – adventurers. Apart from sunbathing and swimming they spent their vacation enjoying in various water sports, while numerous animators would cheer them up with different cultural – entertaining shows and spectacles. Ostrvo Sveti Marko used to be visited by 1.000 tourists a day. Today it is a completely different situation. It is abandoned, and the tourist facilities that are built on it are overgrown with weed and shrubbery. The Island is completely left to the ravages of time, and it is waiting to be bought. If you still wish that the visit to the Island Sveti Marko to become a part of your adventurous quest, we recommend that you use the services of tourist taxi boats or barges, which are anchored in the Tvat harbor.
