About this beach
Kotor Natural Beach is a small, uncommercialised pebble beach in the Škaljari neighbourhood on the edge of Kotor, less than 1 km from the Old Town walls. It provides the closest swim to the historic centre — a quick, no-fuss dip in the calm bay water without needing to travel or pay for sunbed rentals.
The beach is rated 4.2 stars by over 210 visitors who appreciate its simplicity and convenient location. There are no facilities on site, just a stretch of pebbles and the sheltered waters of the Bay of Kotor, with the dramatic city walls and surrounding mountains forming a backdrop that few beaches anywhere can match.
This is ideal for travellers basing themselves in Kotor's Old Town who want an easy, spontaneous swim without heading further along the coast.
Good to know
It is a roughly 10-minute walk from the Old Town gates. Because there are no facilities, bring everything you need — water, snacks, sunscreen and a towel. Water shoes are strongly recommended. The beach is small, so it can feel crowded when multiple groups arrive.
