About this beach
Perast Beach is a charming waterfront spot along the historic town of Perast, sitting on the northern shore of the Bay of Kotor. The beach lies just steps from the baroque stone buildings and church towers that make Perast one of the most photographed towns in Montenegro, giving swimmers a uniquely scenic backdrop.
Rated 4.6 stars from over 830 reviews, this is one of the highest-regarded beach spots in the bay. The water is sheltered and calm, typical of the inner bay, and the setting blends cultural heritage with relaxed waterfront enjoyment. It's a natural stopping point for visitors exploring the Perast area or taking boat trips to the nearby island churches of Our Lady of the Rocks and St. George.
The beach suits travellers who want to pair swimming with sightseeing in a genuinely beautiful historical setting, rather than those seeking a purpose-built beach resort.
Good to know
Perast is about 12 km from Kotor along the scenic coastal road — a pleasant drive or taxi ride. The town itself is car-free in the centre, so park at the entrance and walk in. Combine a swim with a boat trip to the island churches for the full Perast experience.
