Budva has its own Hawaii - a beach on the island of St. Nicholas, where they run to relax and sunbathe. Learn about the beach, infrastructure and prices on the island.
Hawaii Beach on St. Nicholas Island
The picturesque island of St. Nicholas is located just 1 km from the coast, opposite the Slavic beach of Budva. Its length is only 2 km, and the area is 47 hectares. In the high season, there are a lot of people in Budva, the city beaches are overcrowded, so many people prefer to relax on the Hawaii beach. This is the only section of the island accessible to tourists - everything else is fenced.
The coast is covered with patches of sand, small and large pebbles. The water is clean, the entrance to the sea is shallow. There are stones at the bottom, so swim in aquashuuses. Due to the excellent conditions and accessibility of the island in July and August, there are almost as many people here as in Budva itself. Don't count on a quiet, secluded rest!
Wild mouflons live on the island, but it will not work to look for them, since the recreation area for tourists is fenced. There is a small church near the place where the boats dock. Some holidaymakers go fishing, snorkeling and diving off the cliffs next to the beach. There are no other entertainments and attractions for children.
