GUIDE · LUŠTICA BEACHES
The Luštica peninsula keeps the calmest corners of the Herceg Novi riviera. Žanjice under the olives, the hidden cove of Dobreč and the fishing village of Rose: each beach has its own character, and clear water and a view of the entrance to Boka connect them all.
ŽANJICE · THE MAIN BEACH OF THE PENINSULA
Žanjice is the best known beach of Luštica and the natural starting point for the whole peninsula. A pebble shore, a gradual entry into the sea and a cove sheltered from the wind keep it pleasant from early morning until evening. Century-old olive trees rise behind the beach, so there is shade even at midday.
Our restaurant Porto Adriatic works right on the beach, with the Marović apartments next to it. A day at Žanjice easily turns into a whole stay: a morning swim, lunch by the sea, an afternoon boat trip and dinner once the beach empties. Everything about the beach itself: Žanjice beach.
DOBREČ AND ROSE
For even more peace than Žanjice, a boat takes you to the cove of Dobreč, which no road reaches: just the sea, the rocks and the pines. At the tip of the peninsula waits Rose, an old fishing village where the day stretches out easily among stone houses along the waterfront.
You reach Žanjice by car across Luštica, with parking above the beach, or by boat from the Herceg Novi riviera. The ride across the water is part of the experience: boats dock at the little pier on the beach itself, passing Mamula and the entrance to the bay on the way. Count on a boat only for Dobreč.
GETTING TO THE LUŠTICA BEACHES
AFTER THE SWIM
A beach day ends best at a table by the sea. Fresh fish, homemade bread and olive oil wait at the restaurant on Žanjice, and a table by the water looks straight onto the cove you have just stepped out of. See the menu or reserve a table for your return from the sea.
