Two beaches 2.1 km apart, measured the same way. Jaz and Mogren II side by side, on the nine things that decide which one your afternoon should go to.

Mogren IIsand · 170 mThe farther of Budva’s two Mogren coves, through a tunnel in the rock, and the quieter one for it.The short answer
Choose Jaz for
- real depth close to shore
- room — it is half again as long
- arriving by road
Choose Mogren II for
- water that stays shallow a long way out
- quiet

Each in our own words
Jaz
Jaz is the beach the riviera measures itself against: two sections of about 800 m and 400 m, pebble at the waterline and sand under the water, with space to swim that the town beaches of Budva never have. The long western beach is fully organised — five of its concessions held a 2024 Blue Flag — while the smaller eastern cove towards Budva stays quiet and traditionally naturist. It ranked 35th in Europe’s 50 Best Beaches for 2026, and the bay has hosted the Rolling Stones, Madonna and four Sea Dance festivals.
In July and August the car park fills by mid-morning and the access road backs up; the pebble shore is hard on bare feet and the sandy seabed shelves faster than it looks.
Mogren II
Mogren II is what people walk to Mogren for and then keep walking to reach: about 170 m of coarse pale sand under the same cliff, a tunnel between it and the first cove, and noticeably fewer people for two minutes more effort. One concession runs loungers here; there is no road, no bus and nothing else. It is also the more exposed of the two, and the one without a lifeguard on our list.
There is no lifeguard recorded on this cove, only on the first. When the concessions close for weather, nobody is watching the water: a swimmer drowned here in July 2026 after they had shut. The only way in and out is the tunnel from Mogren I.
