Drobni pijesak in Montenegro on the Guardian's list of the best beaches

The Guardian has compiled a list of the 40 best beaches for 2022 - one of them is located in Montenegro. No, not Sveti Stefan.

It is Drobni pijesak, a beach located in a tucked-away bay, just under the main road between Sveti Stefan and Petrovac.

- Montenegro's Budva Riviera is one of the biggest jewels in the country. Drobni pijesak beach, a little further to the south, is characterized by emerald water surrounded by forested mountains, umbrellas for rent, as well as two restaurants on the beach that offer a large selection of Montenegrin grilled dishes - the Guardian's description says.

This beach is generally not crowded, and the sea is turquoise blue and clean - the Pura Vida swimming area at the Drobni Pijesak beach is the holder of the Blue Flag.

On the beach itself, a stream with spring water flows into the sea, and here you can choose whether you will hang out on the sand or on the rocks.

Until a few years ago, the beach of Drobni Pijesak could only have been reached by boat, and even today this is the most panoramic and easiest way.

During the season, boats regularly depart from Budva and Petrovac. If you are going by car, on the road between Budva and Petrovac from both directions you will come across the traffic sign "Drobni pijesak beach" indicating the turn for the beach, and from there drivers are advised to be especially careful.
