About this beach
Kotor Beach is a popular pebbly shoreline in Dobrota, just north of Kotor's walled Old Town on the Bay of Kotor. The beach sits in the sheltered inner bay, where the mountain-ringed water stays calm and warm throughout summer, making it one of the most visited swimming spots in the area.
Visitors find a relaxed waterfront atmosphere with room to sunbathe and easy access to the gentle, clear bay water — perfect for families and anyone who prefers calm conditions over open-sea surf. The dramatic limestone mountains rising on all sides provide a striking backdrop that makes even a simple swim feel memorable.
With over 3,600 ratings at 4.3 stars, Kotor Beach is a reliable, well-loved local favourite that suits a broad mix of travellers, from day-trippers based in the Old Town to families staying in Dobrota.
Good to know
Arrive in the morning during peak summer to secure a good spot — afternoons get busy. The Old Town is walkable from here, so combining a beach trip with sightseeing works well. Bring water shoes as the shore is pebbly.
