About this beach
Halfmoon Beach is a secluded and naturally striking beach on Sveti Nikola Island (also known as 'Hawaii Island') off the coast of Budva, accessible only by boat and offering a genuinely off-the-beaten-track beach experience.
With a 4.5 rating from 149 visitors, this beach stands out for its remoteness and beauty. Sveti Nikola is a small uninhabited island visible from Budva's old town, and Halfmoon Beach occupies a sheltered curved cove with clear water, fine pebbles, and a Robinson Crusoe-style atmosphere. There are no hotels and limited facilities, making it pure beach and sea. The boat trip across adds to the adventure.
Perfect for those who want to escape the resort beaches entirely and find something genuinely unspoilt.
Good to know
Boat taxis to Sveti Nikola depart regularly from Budva's harbour in summer — the crossing takes about 15 minutes. Bring your own food, drinks, and snorkelling gear as facilities on the island are very limited. Check weather conditions before going as the boat doesn't run in rough sea.
