Two beaches, one tunnel, crystal-clear sea near the Old Town
Mogren Beach is situated immediately next to the Old Town of Budva and has been ranked among the most popular and prestigious beaches on the Montenegrin coast for decades. It consists of two separate sections — Mogren I and Mogren II — connected by a short tunnel carved through the rock, giving it a uniquely distinctive character. Fine sand, crystal-clear water, and a dramatic cliff backdrop make it one of the most visually stunning beaches on the Adriatic. The beach is reached via a concrete path along the sea that departs from the gate of the Old Town, passing by the famous Ballerina statue along the way. In addition to swimming and sunbathing, visitors can enjoy cliff jumping, diving, and exploring a hidden underwater cave accessible only by diving.

Highlights
The most recognisable feature of Mogren Beach is the short tunnel carved through the rock that connects the two separate sections of the beach. Mogren I is larger and busier, while Mogren II offers a somewhat quieter and more secluded atmosphere. Passage through the tunnel is free and open to all visitors, and the experience of walking through the rock from one section of the beach to the other gives Mogren a unique adventurous character that sets it apart from all other beaches on the Adriatic coast.
Between Mogren I and Mogren II there are rocky platforms from which it is possible to jump into the sea from heights of 8 and 18 metres. This is one of the favourite spots for thrill-seekers and younger visitors, who return every season specifically for this activity. Jumping requires caution and knowledge of the underwater terrain, and it is recommended to check the depth and sea conditions beforehand. The rock also provides an excellent spot for sunbathing and photography.
One of the most intriguing secrets of Mogren Beach is a small underwater cave located along the left side of the tunnel connecting the two beaches. The cave is not visible from the surface and is accessible exclusively by diving, which is why it is known only to locals and experienced visitors. For lovers of diving and underwater exploration, this is an extraordinary experience that is rarely found at other public beaches on the Adriatic. Caution and basic diving knowledge are recommended.
The path leading from the gate of the Old Town of Budva to Mogren Beach is approximately 500 metres long and runs along the very cliffs above the Adriatic, offering spectacular views of the sea and the old town. On the way to the beach, visitors pass by the famous Ballerina statue, a sculpture that has become one of the symbols of Budva and one of the most photographed spots on the riviera. The path is concrete, mostly flat, and suitable for most visitors, and the walk itself is an experience worth savouring.
