About Sveti Stefan Beach
Either side of the sandy spit that links the island town of Sveti Stefan to the mainland, two beaches unfold: East and West, about 1,170 metres in all. The sand is shot through with pink and reddish stone, and the water is clear and blue-turquoise, with the famous island as a backdrop to every swim. Budva’s tourist board notes that the fame of Sveti Stefan and the celebrated guests it has welcomed have long given these beaches an exclusive air. Come early in summer to enjoy the calm before the day warms up.
