Ratac

Naturist beach on the cape between Sutomore and Bar

Season: June–September
Overview

Ratac beach is located on the Ratac cape between Sutomore and Bar, with the cape dividing it into two smaller coves. The pine forest surrounding the beach naturally separates it from the main road, creating a sense of isolation and privacy. The beach is intended for naturists and is known for its tranquility and clean sea. The natural setting — rocks, pine trees, and the sea — makes it attractive for visitors seeking rest away from the crowds. Access to the beach requires a short walk through the forest.

Two coves of Ratac cape

The Ratac cape physically divides the beach into two separate smaller coves, each with a somewhat different character — one is more exposed to the sun, the other is more sheltered and shaded. This natural division means visitors can choose a cove according to their own preferences, and between them stretches a rocky cape with views over the open sea. The water is clean, and the rocky bottom is well-suited for snorkeling and observing underwater life.

Pine forest by the beach

The pine forest surrounding the Ratac cape is one of the rare examples of a natural buffer zone between the main coastal road and the beach on the Montenegrin coast. The forest provides shade, reduces traffic noise, and gives the beach the character of an isolated, hidden spot. The short walk through the forest to the beach takes around 10 minutes and is itself a pleasant stroll through nature, especially in the early morning hours.

Rocky cape with sea views

The Ratac cape itself offers views over the open Adriatic Sea and is an attractive point for photography and taking in the surrounding landscape. From the cape, Sutomore is visible to the north and Bar to the south, and on clear days the coastline towards Ulcinj can also be seen. The rocky shore of the cape also draws visitors who come not solely for sunbathing, but for the peaceful surroundings and natural scenery of the Montenegrin coast.
