Pržno Beaches

Overview

Welcome to Pržno, a charming former fishing village nestled on Montenegro's Adriatic coast. If you're seeking a relaxed beach escape with stunning scenery, Pržno offers a more intimate atmosphere than larger nearby resorts. It's particularly well-suited for couples and families looking for a picturesque base, known more for its tranquil vibe than for bustling nightlife. The clear Adriatic waters invite swimming throughout the warmer months.

The heart of the village is Przno Beach, a convenient spot right by the waterfront promenade. While picturesque, it's relatively small and features pebbles and coarse sand, so expect it to get busy, especially in peak season.

Beyond the main village beach, several beautiful spots are within easy reach. A short walk away is the larger and lively Kamenovo beach, a local favorite. For truly iconic scenery, head towards Sveti Stefan to capture unforgettable photos of the famous island. Nearby, the exclusive cove of Milocer Beach offers exceptional natural beauty within a lush park setting.

While many beaches in the area consist of pebbles or coarse sand rather than fine powder, the stunning settings and clear waters make them highlights of the Montenegrin coast. From the convenient village beach to scenic nearby coves, Pržno provides a great starting point for coastal exploration. Discover more options in our full guide to the area's beaches.
