Petrovac Beach: The easiest way to define serenity

Petrovac Beach is an attractive town beach, often appearing as crowded during July and August (the latter month being famed for many traditional festivals) but very nice if you manage to catch your spot early in the morning. This is when you can listen to waves kissing the shore, birds chirping beautiful songs, and other melodies that appear to compose Mother Nature’s Symphony of the Sea. However, when the beach is jammed with people, simply run away to any of its nearby restaurants or bars and enjoy your meal or coffee while having the bliss of one of the most amazing viewpoints on Earth.

Sveta Nedjelja and Katič Islands: Story time!

Islands Sveta Nedjelja and Katič overlook the vastness of the sea on one side, and the town of Petrovac with its rugged cliffs towering above it on the other. While with kids in Montenegro, you can tell them about the legend according to which the little church was built on Sveta Nedjelja Island; a gift from seafarers who survived a shipwreck. It is popular to go on the island, hike up to the church, and ring its bells for which many believe that this act brings luck and good health.
