Crystal-Clear Waters and a Perfect Seafloor
One of the most praised features of Jaz Beach is its easy and comfortable sea access. The water is exceptionally clear and transparent, and the seabed is covered with clean pebbles and large-grain sand — with no algae or sharp rocks to worry about. This makes it ideal for swimmers of all levels, especially those uneasy about stepping on slippery or murky seabeds.
An Award-Winning Beauty
In 2015, the renowned travel site Lonely Planet named Jaz Beach the most beautiful beach in Europe — and with good reason. Its beauty remains just as captivating today, drawing both locals and international visitors in search of sun, sea, and serenity.
Two Beaches in One
Jaz Beach is divided into two connected sections: Jaz 1 and Jaz 2, offering two distinct experiences.
Jaz 1: Lively and Family-Friendly
Located on the right side, Jaz 1 is the bustling hub of the beach. Here, you’ll find:
- Numerous beach cafes and restaurants
- Sunbeds and umbrellas for rent
- Music and entertainment
- A large inflatable bouncy castle in the sea
Many restaurants offer food delivery straight to your sunbed, along with excellent free Wi-Fi and fair pricing. Some are particularly welcoming to children (link!), making this area ideal for families. Additionally, the beach is pet-friendly, which is good to know whether you’re bringing your furry friend or prefer a pet-free zone.
At the far end of Jaz 1, you’ll find a unique stretch of fine sand, a rarity in Budva where pebble beaches are the norm.
Jaz 2: Peaceful and Untouched
In contrast, Jaz 2, on the left side, offers a more tranquil and natural setting. It’s largely undeveloped, with the exception of a boardwalk that runs the length of the beach and a single cafe tucked away at the far end. This section features:
- A quieter atmosphere
- A pebble-only shoreline
- Budva’s only nudist beach, located in the far-left corner
Jaz 2 is perfect for visitors seeking solitude, nature, and a break from the crowds.
Getting There
Jaz Beach is just 2.5 kilometers from Budva’s city center, making it easily accessible by a short cab ride. If you’re driving, there’s a large FREE parking lot conveniently located next to a popular auto-camp, making access hassle-free.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re after beachside fun, natural beauty, or a bit of both, Jaz Beach in Budva offers an unforgettable coastal experience. With its mix of vibrant activity and serene escapes, it’s no wonder this beach continues to charm visitors year after year
