A coastal settlement on the Herceg Novi Riviera in the Tivat Bay of Boka
Đenovići is a coastal settlement in Boka Kotorska, located on the Herceg Novi Riviera approximately 8 km east of Herceg Novi, in the Tivat Bay of Boka. The shoreline consists of private and public, sandy and concrete beaches, equipped with sun loungers, parasols, showers, and changing cabins. During the day the waterfront is suited to swimming and sunbathing, while at night it becomes a pedestrian zone with a lively dining and café scene along the sea. The immediate proximity of the luxury Porto Novi complex in Kumbor, along with the option to stroll along the coastal path all the way to Herceg Novi and Baošići, makes Đenovići an attractive destination for a peaceful family seaside holiday.

Highlights
The Đenovići shoreline offers a series of private and public beaches — sandy and concrete — situated directly on the Tivat Bay of Boka Kotorska. All beaches are equipped with sun loungers, parasols, showers, changing cabins, and SUP kayaks for hire. At night, from around 19:00, the coastal road becomes an exclusively pedestrian zone with no motor traffic, creating a special atmosphere by the sea. The beaches are particularly well-suited for families with children thanks to the gentle entry into the water on the sandy sections.
Above Đenovići, on a hill overlooking the settlement, stands the Church of St. Stefan, reached via local walking trails. From the area in front of the church there is a panoramic view across the entire Tivat Bay — Kumbor, Đenovići, Baošići, and the surrounding mountains are all visible. The ascent is short and accessible to hikers of all ages. This is one of the most popular spots for photographing the bay from a bird's-eye perspective in this part of Boka Kotorska.
Just a few minutes' walk or drive from Đenovići, in the neighbouring Kumbor, lies the luxury Porto Novi complex — a modern marina and resort that significantly enriches the tourism offer of this stretch of the riviera. The marina promenade, landscaped terraces, restaurants, and seafront cafés attract visitors from across the region. Porto Novi is one of the newer and most developed tourist facilities along the Herceg Novi Riviera, and can be reached on foot along the coastal path from Đenovići during an evening stroll.
From Đenovići — from the jetty near restaurant Nautica — organised boat tours depart towards outer Boka Kotorska. One of the key destinations is Žanjica beach, a pebble cove approximately 300 metres long, sheltered from waves and surrounded by ancient olive groves. Nearby stands Mamula fortress on the island of the same name, built in the 19th century as a naval defence. This combination of nature and history makes the boat trip from Đenovići one of the most popular excursions on the Herceg Novi Riviera.
