Overview

Baošići Beach is located in the village of the same name on the southeastern shore of Herceg Novi Bay, between Đenovići and Bijela, about 10 km from Herceg Novi.

The coastline stretches for about 2 km and offers a series of small public pebble beaches and concrete sunbathing areas, surrounded by pines, palms and magnolias. The sea is calm and shallow along the shore, sheltered from waves, which makes it suitable for family swimming. In the centre of the village, by the waterfront, events are held as part of the Mimosa Festival every February.
