A sandy-pebble cove near Budva, surrounded by protected olive groves
Pržno Beach stretches from Cape Pržno to Cape Miločer, surrounded by a typical coastal fishing village and olive groves protected by the state as a nature reserve. It is approximately 350 metres long, a mix of sand and pebbles, with a gently sloping entry into the sea suitable for swimmers of all ages. The Maestral Resort & Casino hotel occupies most of the shoreline, while the public section fills up quickly during the summer season. Several konobas and restaurants directly by the sea contribute to an authentic gastronomic offering of fresh fish and seafood. A walking path through Miločer Park connects Pržno with Sveti Stefan in a short, shaded stroll.

Highlights
The beach stretches from Cape Pržno to Cape Miločer over approximately 350 metres, set in a semi-circular cove surrounded by limestone ridges that protect it from open Adriatic waves. The surface is a mix of sand and pebbles with a gently sloping entry into the sea — no sudden drops in depth. The entire area has been designated a protected nature reserve due to the exceptionally valuable olive groves that surround the beach hinterland and village. The beach is equipped with showers, sun loungers and a café-restaurant, and a lifeguard service operates throughout the bathing season.
Directly adjacent to Pržno lies Miločer Park, the former summer residence of the Karađorđević royal family, built in 1934 and surrounded by Mediterranean and exotic vegetation — most notably century-old cedar trees. Running through the park is the Royal Miločer Road, a walking path shaded by pines and cedars that connects Pržno directly with Sveti Stefan in a short walk of 15–20 minutes. The trail is popular for morning walks and guided excursions, and also offers views of Queen's Beach within the Aman Sveti Stefan resort.
From the edge of Pržno and from the walking path through Miločer Park, there are views of Sveti Stefan island, one of the most recognisable locations in Montenegro and the entire Balkans. The island has been transformed into the exclusive Aman Sveti Stefan hotel resort, and photographing it from the viewpoints above Pržno and Miločer provides the classic framing with the entire island in shot. Pržno is a practical and accessible base for visiting this part of the riviera — Sveti Stefan is just 15–20 minutes away on foot through the park.
Several konobas and restaurants in Pržno are located directly along the shore or above the sea with terraces overlooking the cove. The gastronomic offering is centred on fresh fish and seafood — prawns, shellfish, octopus and fish grilled over stone are the specialities. Restaurants in Pržno are somewhat more expensive than in Budva, but they reflect local hospitality and an authentic coastal atmosphere. In the early evening, once the beach empties, the konoba terraces become a favourite gathering spot for both local and international guests.

The public part of the beach is free. Renting a sunbed and umbrella at Hotel Maestral costs non-guests up to €180-200 per set at the height of the season.
There is a small free car park about 50 metres from the beach and additional spaces by the post office, but they are regularly full in season. Paid parking is available at Hotel Maestral.
The beach can be reached via a paved street or stone steps, which makes access for people with reduced mobility harder (but not impossible).
