On Google Maps the beach is found under the name Crvena Stijena.
The sea at Crvena Stijena beach is known for exceptional clarity and good underwater visibility, making this location popular among divers. The beach's rare footfall means the marine ecosystem remains untouched. Even without diving equipment, swimming in such clean water is a rare experience on Montenegro's 293 km coastline.
In the immediate vicinity of Crvena Stijena, along the stretch between Bar and Ulcinj, lie two more hidden gems of the Montenegrin coast. Hladna Uvala is a starting point for kayak hire, surrounded by forest on one side and rocks on the other. Kristalna Plaža (Cristal beach on Google Maps) is located near Kruče, across from the island of Stari Ulcinj, and is best reached by kayak.
