September is the ideal month for beach lovers in Montenegro. The scorching summer heat of July and August fades, but the sea remains pleasantly warm (23-25°C), while coastal areas become significantly less crowded. Where should you go to enjoy swimming during this velvet season?

1. Mogren Beach (Budva)

One of Montenegro’s most picturesque beaches, framed by dramatic cliffs. In September, you’ll find calm waters, excellent visibility, and full amenities (sunbeds, showers, cafes) still operating. Perfect for combining beach time with exploring Budva’s charming Old Town.

2. Slavyansk Beach (Budva Riviera)

Budva’s longest beach (1.5 km) features fine pebbles and gentle entry into the sea. While still somewhat busy in early September, it becomes wonderfully peaceful by mid-month. Numerous hotels, restaurants, and entertainment options surround the area.

3. Bečići (Budva Riviera)

Famous for its golden sand and crystal-clear water. September brings particularly calm seas and reduced prices for sunbed rentals, making it excellent for families.

4. Lučice Beach (Petrovac)

A cozy bay with pebbly shores and pine trees lining the coast. The water here warms faster and retains heat longer than elsewhere. Expect tranquility and few visitors in September.

5. Miločer Beach (“Royal Beach”)

An exclusive pink-sand beach nestled in a pine forest. While entrance requires payment, September brings lower prices and fewer tourists – ideal for a secluded getaway.

6. Žanjic (Luštica Peninsula)

A pristine beach with turquoise waters and olive groves. Come for the breathtaking scenery and exceptionally clear water. September offers perfect conditions without summer’s heat or crowds.

7. Utjeha Beach (Bar)

This 1 km-long mixed sand-and-pebble beach boasts warmer waters than northern counterparts, remaining comfortable for swimming even in late September.

8. Valdanos Beach (Ulcinj)

A secluded bay surrounded by cliffs and ancient olive trees. Known for its transparent waters and eco-friendly environment, it’s the ultimate September relaxation spot.

9. Drobni Pijesak (Herceg Novi)

A fine-pebble beach with gradual entry. The unique microclimate of Boka Bay keeps waters warm, while September ensures peaceful surroundings.

10. St. Nicholas Island Beach (Budva)

Accessible only by boat, but worth the trip for September visitors: pristine waters, stunning views, and near-complete solitude.
